[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13266) Use pack200 to speed up download and install

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

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

Just ran some metrics on "jbosstools-central-maven-examples", both after a "mvn clean"
$ mvn -o verify -Dmaven.test.skip=true   => 2m59s
$ mvn -o verify -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Ppack200   => 3m08s
So it seems to be a matter of second to enable pack200. If all integration works well (from component to installer), I'll recommend to make it default, out of a profile.

> 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.
