The question is whether jar can support the Zip64 file format, and
hence can support archives that can 1) be larger than 4 GB, and 2)
contain individual files that are larger than 4 GB.
As far as I know, Zip64 support is only available in the latest Sun
beta of JDK7. Is my info not up to date?
Cheers,
Bob
