Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-507:
-----------------------------------------
AFAICT there still is no replacement library. So one possible solution for 1.21
still may be to completely remove pack200 support (and maybe move it to a
module distributed separately), but we haven't decided anything, yet. In fact
the current master still doesn't compile with JDK 14+
I'm not sure I understand why this build time problem causes issues for you -
assuming you use a binary of Commons Compress built on JDK earlier than 14 (the
one in Maven Central has been built with JDK 8). If you try to use Pack200 on
JDK14+ it would probably fail even if there was a replacement library as the
existing pack200 code (before it was removed) didn't work with Java14 bytecode
AFAIU.
