Cool.

I'd love to see your code, although I don't think we should merge until we get the code contributed. It looks like contributing code gets a bit harder when there are more than one person involved in writing it.

Hi,

I am interested in contributing code to commons.  I wrote a
ModifiableZip class, that basically implements all the methods on
ZipFile, but provides new methods for adding, removing and modifying
entries in an existing zip file.
The basics work, but it is still a bit rough around the edges.  I need
to do a bit more work on
  1)  Getting the proper apis
  2)  Changing package names + general refactoring
  3)  Making sure there is less duplication between what I have and
what is implemented in compress (there are common elements in
org.apache.commons.compress.ZipOutputStream that I feel we could share)
  4)  Filling in some of the smaller bits like file attributes, etc.
  5)  There are some other known bugs

I thought it made sense to contribute this now, and apply patches, since
I figured this could be useful to the VFS folks, and thought it might be
able to go into Compress, in which case being able to get feedback and
requirements from the communities earlier (rather than later) will be
useful.


this is great. I am doing work on compress at the moment, if you like i
send you the current code via email (i am not a comitter too). I will
check out your code and will try to put it into my current
implementation. It would be great if we could do this stuff together.

The zip file is
http://sandbox.sourcelabs.com/willpugh/myzip_contribution.zip

I'm not an Apache committer.  Should this be going through the incubator
first?

IMHO not- it's just a enhancement to a allready incubatet codebase.
But i am not an expert on this stuff, so somebody please correct me if i
am writing bullshit.

Cheers,
Chris.

 Thanks,
 --Will
