    61 The \f2pack200\fP tool is a Java application that transforms a JAR file into a compressed \f2pack200\fP file using the Java \f2gzip\fP compressor. The \f2pack200\fP files are highly compressed files that can be directly deployed, saving bandwidth and reducing download time.
       
    62 .LP
       
    63 .LP
       
    64 The \f2pack200\fP tool uses several options to fine\-tune and set the compression engine.

   135 The packer will reorder and transmit all elements. Additionally, the packer may remove JAR directory names. This will reduce the download size; however, certain JAR file optimizations, such as indexing, may not work correctly.

   145 The value is the estimated target size N (in bytes) of each archive segment. If a single input file requires
       
   146 .br
       
   147 more than N bytes, it will be given its own archive segment. As a special case, a value of \f2\-1\fP will produce a single large segment with all input files, while a value of \f20\fP will produce one segment for each class. Larger archive segments result in less fragmentation and better compression, but processing them requires more memory.
       
   148 .LP
       
   149 .LP
       
   150 The size of each segment is estimated by counting the size of each input file to be transmitted in the segment, along with the size of its name and other transmitted properties.
       
   151 .LP
       
   152 .LP
       
   153 The default is \f21000000\fP (a million bytes). This allows input JAR files of moderate size to be transmitted in one segment. It also puts a limit on memory requirements for packers and unpackers.
       
   154 .LP
       
   155 .LP
       
   156 A 10MB JAR packed without this limit will typically pack about 10% smaller, but the packer may require a larger Java heap (about ten times the segment limit).

   166 If the value is set to a single decimal digit, the packer will use the indicated amount of effort in compressing the archive. Level \f21\fP may produce somewhat larger size and faster compression speed, while level \f29\fP will take much longer but may produce better compression. The special value \f20\fP instructs the packer to copy through the original JAR file directly with no compression. The JSR 200 standard requires any unpacker to understand this special case as a pass\-through of the entire archive.
       
   167 .LP
       
   168 .LP
       
   169 The default is \f25\fP, investing a modest amount of time to produce reasonable compression.

   203 The packer will attempt to determine the latest modification time, among all the available entries in the original archive, or the latest modification time of all the available entries in that segment. This single value will be transmitted as part of the segment and applied to all the entries in each segment. This can marginally decrease the transmitted size of the archive at the expense of setting all installed files to a single date.

   347 Passes option to the Java launcher called by \f2pack200\fP. For example, \f2\-J\-Xms48m\fP sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. Although it does not begin with \f2\-X\fP, it is not a standard option of \f2pack200\fP. It is a common convention for \f2\-J\fP to pass options to the underlying VM executing applications written in Java.
