[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13266?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mickael Istria edited comment on JBIDE-13266 at 1/4/13 5:04 AM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pack200 has been used for awhile in many Eclipse projects. Also the tycho pack200 plugins are working well and maintained as part of the CBI. Most issue linked are refering to older JVM version or older p2. The big gain is: * 50% less bytes to download at installation (the download speed is currently the bottleneck when installing JBT) We can also expect: * Saved some time at build time to get other JBT artifacts The cost is: * +30 to 40% size of our repository (consumed on download.jboss.org) pack200 seems worth giving it a try. was (Author: mickael_istria): Pack200 has been used for awhile in many Eclipse projects.
