Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-13266:
----------------------------------------

No need to spend effort in making source bundles pack200'ed since pack200 is a compression that only applies to .class files, there is no gain to apply it to sources.

> p2 provides the pack200 stuff, which offers a better compressions for jars, and then that makes downloads faster when installing.
