Remarks

Transforms a JAR file to or from a packed stream in Pack200 format. Please refer to Network Transfer Format JSR 200 Specification at http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/review/jsr200/index.html

Typically the packer engine is used by application developers to deploy or host JAR files on a website. The unpacker engine is used by deployment applications to transform the byte-stream back to JAR format.

Here is an example using packer and unpacker:

{@code
               import java.util.jar.Pack200;
               import java.util.jar.Pack200.*;
               ...
               // Create the Packer object
               Packer packer = Pack200.newPacker();

               // Initialize the state by setting the desired properties
               Map p = packer.properties();
               // take more time choosing codings for better compression
               p.put(Packer.EFFORT, "7");  // default is "5"
               // use largest-possible archive segments (>10% better compression).
               p.put(Packer.SEGMENT_LIMIT, "-1");
               // reorder files for better compression.
               p.put(Packer.KEEP_FILE_ORDER, Packer.FALSE);
               // smear modification times to a single value.
               p.put(Packer.MODIFICATION_TIME, Packer.LATEST);
               // ignore all JAR deflation requests,
               // transmitting a single request to use "store" mode.
               p.put(Packer.DEFLATE_HINT, Packer.FALSE);
               // discard debug attributes
               p.put(Packer.CODE_ATTRIBUTE_PFX+"LineNumberTable", Packer.STRIP);
               // throw an error if an attribute is unrecognized
               p.put(Packer.UNKNOWN_ATTRIBUTE, Packer.ERROR);
               // pass one class file uncompressed:
               p.put(Packer.PASS_FILE_PFX+0, "mutants/Rogue.class");
               try {
                   JarFile jarFile = new JarFile("/tmp/testref.jar");
                   FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/tmp/test.pack");
                   // Call the packer
                   packer.pack(jarFile, fos);
                   jarFile.close();
                   fos.close();

                   File f = new File("/tmp/test.pack");
                   FileOutputStream fostream = new FileOutputStream("/tmp/test.jar");
                   JarOutputStream jostream = new JarOutputStream(fostream);
                   Unpacker unpacker = Pack200.newUnpacker();
                   // Call the unpacker
                   unpacker.unpack(f, jostream);
                   // Must explicitly close the output.
                   jostream.close();
               } catch (IOException ioe) {
                   ioe.printStackTrace();
               }
            }

A Pack200 file compressed with gzip can be hosted on HTTP/1.1 web servers. The deployment applications can use "Accept-Encoding=pack200-gzip". This indicates to the server that the client application desires a version of the file encoded with Pack200 and further compressed with gzip. Please refer to Java Deployment Guide for more details and techniques.

Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.
