Hi,
I just came across what I think is a bug in the tar utility classes. In
method putNextEntry at about line 170 there is the following
// create a TarEntry for the LongLink, the contents
// of which are the entry's name
TarEntry longLinkEntry = new TarEntry(TarConstants.GNU_LONGLINK,
TarConstants.LF_GNUTYPE_LONGNAME);
longLinkEntry.setSize(entry.getName().length() + 1);
putNextEntry(longLinkEntry);
write(entry.getName().getBytes());
write(0);
closeEntry();
Notice that it terminates the string with a NULL/0 - is this an error. It
looks like it is an error???? Shouldn't we nuke the +1 and write(0) ?
