| 1. <a name="pack200Removal">Pack200 artifacts will no longer be generated starting with 4.21 release</a> |
| </h2> |
| <p> |
| <strong>What is affected:</strong> Clients relying on availability of pack200 artifacts (*.pack.gz) in Eclipse Platform p2 repository. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Description:</strong> Clients using pack200 (*.pack.gz) artifacts from Eclipse Platform p2 repository are advised to stop doing so and |
| rely on plain old *.jar files instead. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Action required:</strong> If your build system/scripts have strong requirement on existence of *.pack.gz artifacts for Eclipse Platform bits |
| do the needed modifications so it can work when these are not around prior to starting to build against 4.21 release. |
