[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBAS-3167) Support Pack200 compression for WAR/EAR files to reduce upload time

[Dimitris Andreadis (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3167?page=all ]

Dimitris Andreadis updated JBAS-3167:
-------------------------------------

        Fix Version/s:     (was: JBossAS-4.0.5.GA)
    Affects Version/s: JBossAS-4.0.2 Final
                           (was: JBossAS-4.0.4.CR2)

If someone wants to prototype this fine, but for now there are no cycles for it.

> First, thank you for such an outstanding Application Server: JBoss is truly a magnificent piece of software that is an absolute joy to work with. You guys are a shining testament to the quality of Open Source.
> My feature request is to support Sun's new(ish) Pack200 compression format for WARs and EARs. I know precious little about this, other than it is built into the JRE and can pack JARs to a fraction of their original size. I'm not even sure it can be applied 'as is' to WARs and EARs, so perhaps this can be a proprietary JBoss feature?
> Anyway, at 20MB+ an EAR takes a good 10-15 minutes to upload to my hosting service using my home broadband connection, so any move to help reduce EAR size would be a boon.
> I understand that Pack200 JARs must first be uncompressed into JARs before they can be used, but this should be fairly natural for JBoss (which uncompresses into the tmp folder anyway, I believe).
