Documentation is not up to date :( To simplify the dependences, the last version of the ZIM format only recognizes one container/algorithm and this is xz/lzma2. This has been decided at last dev. meeting. Please correct me Tommi if I'm wrong. I think if we want to support another couple container/algorithm, this newcomer has to bring really technical advantages. We should not switch or add dependences only because one language/platform requires it... Otherwise we will never find a sustainable solution. So, my approach would be here to try to support the xz/lzma2 couple in java. I see here two possibilities: * Code the library directly in java * Use libxz native code in java What about these strategies?
