Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
charsets.jar
deploy.jar
javaws.jar
jsse.jar
localedata.jar
plugin.jar
rt.jar
Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
charsets.pack
deploy.pack
javaws.pack
jsse.pack
localedata.pack
plugin.pack
rt.pack
I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
So now I have a few questions
Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.

Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it. Locking the thread.

    Why are the files in my desktop folder not showing on my desktop?

    An add-on can put its icon on the bar automatically if it likes, but some add-ons do one of the following:
    * Add an item to the Tools menu
    * Add an item to the right-click menu (depending on the context)
    * Put a button in the button palette so you can add it to a toolbar if you like (''to call up the button palette, use'' View > Toolbars > Customize ''or right-click a blank area after the address box on the Navigation Toolbar and choose Customize from the pop-up menu'')
    Also, you might want to double-check that the add-on is enabled.
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
    If you have the orange Firefox button, it's Firefox > Add-ons > Extensions
    Does that help? (If you have problems with a particular extension, you could mention which one it is for more specific comments.)

  • Why are all transferred files not accessible?

    I am linked to my iMac yet whenever I transfer files over I cannot open or change them without having to put in my administrator code. Why is that? I have put in my administrator name on this computer with the ability to read and write. I don't see why that is not recognized. Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks,
    Richard

  • Xdo jar files not compatible to j2ee / jre 6.0?

    Hello,
    we are using JRE 6.0 to develop a nice webapplication and we want to use the BIP inside the application. suddenly it is not possible to combine java.util.Hashtable<String, String> with the required com.sun.java.util.collections.Hashtable.
    com.sun.java.util.collections.ArrayList is also not available.
    What should I do? Is there a newer version of the jar files outside? Or can I download com.sun.java.util.collections anywhere?
    Best Regards
    Alexander

    grab the collections.jar ($JAVA_TOP/oracle) file and use that. it should work.

  • Why do all websites visited not appear in the Permissions Manager list?

    Some websites I visit (e.g., play.com) do not appear in the list on the left of Permissions Manager. However when I click 'Manage cookies' they do appear, with a list of cookies set. Is this due to some setting I don't know about? How can I stop it happening? OS is Windows 7.

    you can also access the permissions of a page when you're visiting it by right-clicking & going to ''view page info > permissions''.

  • Why are my log files not getting backed up?

    I just tried to get some files from ~/Library/Logs but found that the entire Logs directory was not on Time Machine - looks like every thing else in ~/Library was there. I checked the exclusion list and it was not on there.
    I know that some ~/Library stuff gets backed up because I was recently able to find and restore some iCal events from about 4 months ago.
    Anybody know what gives? Is there any way to change this?
    Thx

    I checked and both /Library/Logs and ~/Library/Logs are on the exclusion list - now why doesn't Apple's help file discuss that?
    Now, that's funny! Apple's Help, while improved over the last few releases, is nowhere near complete. That's why some occasional tips turned into my 120+ page website, mostly about Time Machine, and several others have written entire books about OSX.
    By all means, tell them about it at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/timemachine.html
    Maybe if enough of us do that, they'll reconsider.
    My problem - as a software tester, I occasionally would like to ensure that logs for a particular app stay around during my test period - in this case, the app under test did an archive, but kept only the previous 5 logs as backups (and without a setting I had access to) - and, of course, I was looking for an earlier log.
    So, is there any way to tell Time Machine at the start of my testing period to save logs in specific ~/Librarary/Log subdirectory and then at the end of my testing period, tell TIme Machine to stop backing them up?
    Not directly, other than periodically copying them somewhere else. But the schedule and handling of the "rotation" of some can be altered, if you're comfortable with UNIX and Terminal. See the MAN pages for newsyslog and newsyslog.conf.

  • Why are certain sound files not playing correctly in iTunes?

    I have had iTunes for years and have never had prolonged or unsolvable problems with anything playback related until now. I recently acquired some music, and it plays perfectly when I use WMP. When I added it my iTunes library, however, the audio is compressed during playback and there is a lot of skipping and blips going on in every song. It still plays perfectly in WMP, but not matter what I do the same thing happens in iTunes.
    For reference, here is what the original audio songs like
    http://picosong.com/cNPn
    And here is what it sounds like in iTunes
    http://picosong.com/cNPe

    I have a similar problem. When I try to play TV episodes that were downloaded (in .m4v format) using iTunes, QuickTime (7.0.4) will play video without audio, and when I press "stop", QuickTime locks up!
    My system used to play these files PERFECTLY, until I downloaded some shareware video format conversion programs (that didn't work, anyway). I believe one of them installed a shared DLL or CODEC or something that is conflicting with QuickTime. I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED QUICKTIME AND ITUNES COUNTLESS TIMES, trying to follow different people's advice, mostly from posts on this site, but nothing helps!!
    The thing we have in common is that it sounds like you also have other video software that could have conflicting CODECs or shared DLLs. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM DOWN??
    And why doesn't Apple make a CLEAN uninstaller and a COMPLETE installer? People shouldn't have to do the manual registry editing and file deletions that other people are recommending!!!!!

  • Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

    I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
    Ty

    @masood131 - A few questions:
    Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
    If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
    If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
    If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
    If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

  • Why are my Indesign files not showing up in Bridge

    I downloaded CC 2014 at the same time as transferring my files to a new computer.  Now on Bridge, the only files showing up are jpgs and pdfs.  Any idea how to integrate the indesign and photoshop into Bridge?

    Firstly, you're using <audio> which is a HTML5 tag, but your doctype shows XHTML1. Change this:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    to this:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    Browsers go to quirks mode when they see a major doctype conflict such as this one.
    Secondly, HTML5 Audio is not fully supported/ native in some browsers - especially older ones. You can consider using a 3rd party HTML5 player such as http://mediaelementjs.com/ because they usually have a fallback mechanism to ensure your file works on older browsers.
    Another observation: There is no space between 2 attributes in your code.
        <source src="music/Commercial Demo.wav"type="audio/wav"/>
    Should ideally be like this:
        <source src="music/Commercial Demo.wav" type="audio/wav"/>
    Note the space between src and type.

  • Why are all my plugins not starting when I start firefox normally?

    When I start firefox, my plugins won't work. It used to work. When I open the add-ons window, it shows all the add-ons correctly but when I click options, it shows a very small window and no options.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why are my mjpg files not streaming anymore going from version 36 to 37?

    The video streams from my axis cameras on version 36 but on version 37 it gives a still image. When i refresh the page it returns the image as it was when i refreshed it but it does not stream anymore. I have updated all the plugins and if i downgrade to version 36 it works again.

    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox.
    Try '''Safe''' web sites. Is the problem still there?
