Hi,

I need a reviewer for the changes to remove pack200 and unpack200 from the JDK. The webrev with the removal is at [1]. This patch is the "implementation" of JEP 367 [2]. The patch is basically removing the Pack200 related APIs plus its implementation plus any reference to it in other tools like jar. In the case of jar, Pack200 was only used if the -n flag was passed to the tool. I have removed the code that was executed when that flag was passed. I have also removed all the tests for Pack200. Vicente - the webrev looks a bit incomplete, e.g. it misses test/jdk/java/util/jar/Pack200, make/launcher/Launcher-jdk.pack.gmk, and several make files. Maybe you are splitting up the removal into multiple patches?? If you can, one webrev with everything would be best, then send it to at least core-libs-dev and build-dev for review.
