      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      The clickwrap installer that is used to distribute Mustang source code and API
      docs is very inefficient at unobfuscating the wrapped JAR archive, wasting about
      half of the total CPU time taken to install to make simple xor operation,
      according to simple profiling.

      Problematic method is com.sun.tools.extractor.KeyedInputStream.fill().

      I would like to fix it, so I hereby request for the extractor tool to be
      included in Mustang project so we can post patches against it and fix it.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Installing JDK source and API docs is painfully slow.

      There is a new java.net project http://sfxjar.dev.java.net that concerns this kind of clickwrap installer.
      It should be considered.
