[compress] is beeing used for vfs as far as i understood Mario correct. He has special wishes for compress for a better integration in vfs and i think it would be great if could support the development of vfs with providing an more evolved compress. In my opinion, compress should be renamed in archive/compress (or a better name ;-)) to avoid confusion. The idea of having implementations for archivers like .iso is a good one, but at the moment i would like to "wrap" the give implementation. Of course, if we would stop as a wrapper of classes provided by the JDK, we could think about stopping this component here. But i think it's possible to write an implementation for (f.e.) a delete/add-operation. This is very useful and i do not know an API with a similiar implementation. The user feedback on the commons-user list is rare. But, hey, it's simply uncomfortable to use [compress] at the moment. Let's see again what happens when compress has some more lines of code and a nice interface. Thanks for your comments.
