Does JVM applies any default compression to jar and war files

Does a jar/war file created by jvm after building a project compressed?

If Yes, Which compression technique is used by default? and is there any performance degradation of compression?

If No, Why not ?

Its not JVM, but jar utility that is used for creating jar/war packages. Its built upon ZIP file format. Of course, when the package has to read, it requires unarchiving. This is a one time activity, and thus has negligible performance considerations.
