In Java SE 8, the Java class file format has been updated, in part, because of JSR 292: Supporting Dynamically Typed Languages on the Java Platform. (See also Java Virtual Machine Support for Non-Java Languages.)
Consequently, the Pack200 engine has been updated accordingly to ensure that Java SE 8 class files are compressed effectively. In particular, the Pack200 engine now recognizes constant pool entries and new bytecodes introduced by JSR 292. As a result, compressed files created with this version of the pack200 tool will not be compatible with older versions of the unpack200 tool. See Compression Formats for Network Development.
