Thanks for your reply @jaikiran. A search for "compress" in the Git history shows a long history of @bodewig porting enhancements and fixes from Commons Compress to Ant. Here are a few: - commit 6594a2d66 - commit faa26a012 - commit 2c04d7e83 - commit 6d98fbb95 - commit 34fdc2f62 - commit 915d5575a The particular dependency in `commons-compress` that we do not want in Jenkins core is `commons-lang3`. Due to the historical architecture of Jenkins core, third-party dependencies of Jenkins core are exposed to all plugins. We would rather deliver third-party libraries as Jenkins library plugins, which allows Jenkins plugins to consume them as plugin-to-plugin dependencies but prevents Jenkins core from consuming them. Here we just have a variation of [this old problem](https://wesolows.dtrace.org/2014/04/10/libsunw_ssl-or-how-smartos-avoids-sadness/). Ant's version of tar/untar functionality is ideal for us to embed in Jenkins core because it has few third-party dependencies. I do not see any reason not to port fixes from Commons Compress to Ant as @bodewig has done for many years. This can only benefit both projects. I view it as collaboration rather than competition (a rising tide lifts all boats). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
