Hi,
Java 1.5 comes with support for a new archive format Pack200[1] which basically works by using a special compression algorithm that is very effective on Java class files. The way to create such an archive is to create a plain old jar first and then turn ot into a Pack200 archive - "depack200"ing again yields a jar archive.
Sine Java 1.5 comes with a straight forward utility class[2], creating <pack200> and <unpack200> tasks would be quite simple - and first enhancement request are predicted to pop up soon 8-)
Do we want to make them core tasks or do we want to farm them out into an antlib of their own?
Antlib. That way people w/ Ant1.6 will be able to use them, and it shows that we think antlibs are the future of addon stuff.
