RE: [JBoss-user] problem with uncompressing of JBoss on Linux
The "gunzip" utility (usually actually implemented as a symlink) is the
decompressor for "gzip." Although the compression schemes used by
"gzip/gunzip" and "zip/unzip" are compatible, the file formats are not.
The standard portable freeware "unzip/zip" tools from the Info-ZIP project
can be built on Unix/Linux and are usually available as precompiled
packages. Debian, for example, offers the "zip" and "unzip" standard
packages (and the "zip-crypt" and "unzip-crypt" alternative packages with
encryption); as usual on a Debian system they can be installed with a
single command ("apt-get install zip" or "apt-get install unzip"):
http://packages.debian.org/zip
http://packages.debian.org/unzip
http://packages.debian.org/zip-crypt
http://packages.debian.org/unzip-crypt
Full information and source code is available:
http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
The Info-ZIP tools are very high quality and emulate the behavior of
PKZIP, which is what Java uses for jar-style files. The "zip/unzip" tools
supplied by IBM with OS/2, for example, are built from Info-ZIP source.
The JDK "jar" utility can used with "tar" syntax to decompress a
PKZIP-format file ("jar -xvf ").
Note that PKZIP format is an inconvenient way to distribute things for
Unix/Linux, since ownership and permission information is lost. Once the
files and directories have been extracted, ownership and permissions must
be configured manually by the system administrator for each file and
directory. This process is often mostly done by trial and error.

Re: [JBoss-user] problem with uncompressing of JBoss on Linux
gzip uses a completely different format from zip. gunzip is of no use on a zip file. There is a version of InfoZip's unzip for Linux, and as others have pointed out, jar uses the zip format. - Original Message - From: "Jim Archer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2001 10:00 PM Subject: RE: [JBoss-user] problem with uncompressing of JBoss on Linux > You don't have gunzip ??? > > Jim > > --On Monday, April 30, 2001 9:46 AM +1000 Scott Warren > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > just a hunch - I am not a linux user.

RE: [JBoss-user] problem with uncompressing of JBoss on Linux
Type jar -xvf *.zip Since jar files are in the same format as zip files(just different file ending), you can use the jar tool that comes with the jdk to extract zip files. /Björn -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]För jquest jquest Skickat: den 28 april 2001 13:04 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ämne: [JBoss-user] problem with uncompressing of JBoss on Linux Hi all, I try to install JBoss on Linux Mandrake 8.0.

RE: [JBoss-user] problem with uncompressing of JBoss on Linux
type rpm -q unzip and see if you get an rpm file returned. If not, you need to down load an rpm for unzip and install it.
