Description
Sina Madani
Many many products and projects are still going to need or use pack200 for some years, as they'll stick to older Java. So we cannot fully remove it from Tycho. Please open dedicated bugs for actual issues you spot with pack200. Perhaps at some point, when Java 8 finally dies (it is already end-of-life according to Oracle), this will be re-opened. At least maybe it shouldn't be part of the default package phase, or there should be some logic to check if running on Java 11 or later then skip it.

Ah yes true, perhaps if JDK >= 14 it could skip or give a warning, or both (In reply to Sina Madani from comment #4) > Ah yes true, perhaps if JDK >= 14 it could skip or give a warning, or both Please try 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT with JDK 14 and report specific bugs when you meet some. |
