David Mollitor created COMPRESS-636:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Add Builder Class for TarEntry
Key: COMPRESS-636
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-636
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: David Mollitor
When looking at the TAR documentation, the suggested usage is:
{code:java}
TarArchiveEntry entry = new TarArchiveEntry(name);
entry.setSize(size);
tarOutput.putArchiveEntry(entry);
tarOutput.write(contentOfEntry);
tarOutput.closeArchiveEntry();{code}
[https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/examples.html]
In this use case, it would be nice if the TarArchiveEntry class took a _size_
parameter as part of the constructor, but even better would be a Builder class
for general ArchiveEntry creation.
For example:
{code:java}
ArchiveEntryBuilder.newTarArchiveEntry().setName(name).setSize(size).build()
{code}
One could imagine a different ArchiveEntryBuilder.newXxxArchiveEntry() for each
type available in the commons compress package.
