JZlib is no longer maintained, and continuing to carry a custom fork is a burden. I have found the Java 7+ GZIPInputStream and GZIPOutputStream classes to work well as a drop-in replacement. Once plugins migrate to these standard Java Platform classes, we can remove JZlib from the WAR.
Others have correctly identified the opportunity to refactor the stack to move compression from the web framework layer (Stapler) to the servlet container layer (Winstone/Jetty) in https://github.com/jenkinsci/stapler/issues/130 and https://github.com/jenkinsci/stapler/issues/265. That long-term goal carries significantly higher implementation effort and risk, since it is a change to interfaces and not just implementations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
