>>To zip and unzip files? Java uses the operating system if that's what
>>you're referring to Exact; what I mean is that all those Zip facilities use about the same zip library of tools. If this library does not include empty directories in the zipped file, no matter you go through PKZip, winZip, javaZip or whateverZip, you always end up with the same result. I'm affraid (but of course I'm not sure) that the way the zip format itself is designed is the source of the problem: the zip file does not contain directories AND files, but only files. To each file is associated the full path it is supposed to be. If there is no file, then there is no directory either. I had this problem once, and the only way to get around it was to have at least one empty file in any directory. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
