No. They don't belong in IO. bzip2 is also a duplicate of Ant's bzip2 although I guess there will be differences but Ant's code will certainly be more advanced. > Does anyone have a better idea as to where they could live? Ant-tools > seems most likely to be the definitive location for bzip2, tar and zip. I'd like to see a "compression" package in either Jakarta Commons or Apache Commons. IMHO Ant is not the right place for that code because that way it won't be found. I guess we need to talk to the Ant guys about that.
