Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-390:
-----------------------------------------
[~sesuncedu] the changes to tar sound useful, although I'd be reluctant adding
a dependency on XZ for Java for reading tars (right now XZ is optional unless
you are really trying to use XZ or LZMA). That would be a separate issue,
though. :-)
> Expose zip stream offset and size via API

> Key: COMPRESS-390
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-390
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.13
> Reporter: Zbynek Vyskovsky
> Labels: features, github-import, patch
> Fix For: 1.14

>
> In certain cases it may be useful to get information about where in the
> archive the stream starts and ends. Typically when zip is used as resource
> container and the resources are then mapped directly into memory, but not
> only.
> The size and compressed size are already available but not the stream offset.
> This can be applied to other archive types as well, therefore it would make
> sense to put this into basic interface - ArchiveEntry. But not necessarily
> all of them have to support it.
