Note that a project's repositories must contain original (conditioned) jars, and pack.gz files (where original jar means the jar produced by the build, but which has been conditioned for pack200). This is mentioned since in some scenarios, only the pack.gz files needs to be left there ... but, that practice is controversial so for now we ask for both ... as one example, there are problems with Java 7 unpacking pack.gz files with nested jars (bug 361628). {quote}

> p2 provides the pack200 stuff, which offers a better compressions for jars, and then that makes downloads faster when installing.
> We should set up our repo to create the pack200'd artifacts.
