I now have fully working implementations of zip/tar with symlink support. Unfortunately there is a slight mess in current symlink support that needs to be sorted out. Prior to java7, we were only able to (unreliably) detect that a directory was a symlink. Detecting symlink files was impossible. With java7 plus we can detect and handle all kinds of symlinks.
