Re: [p2-dev] [Bug 536106] pack200 is being deprecated in java 11 and rem

[Peter Firmstone <peter.firmstone@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's also an Apache Licensed implementation from Harmony, I've 
started working on it here:

https://github.com/pfirmstone/Pack200.net

Pack200 can continue to be developed.  The Harmony code is quite clean.

I've renamed the public api package to:

net.pack200.*

I'll be releasing artifacts on Maven Central in the near future.

Regards,

Peter.
