Torsten Curdt commented on COMPRESS-54:
---------------------------------------
I've only gathered libraries for implementing this.
For RAR I found sources for
o rarlib (GPL)
o unrar (sort of free but cpp)
For 7zip I found
o p7zip (LGPL + restriction, written in C)
o j7zip (LGPL)
And there are other algorithms (and libraries) to implement as well: ARJ, CAB,
...
But I fear some of those implementations need to be hosted somewhere else (due
to the licensing). I'd suggest to create a github project for it.

> Has anyone looked into adding support for 7zip and RAR file types? Using the
> j7zip and junrar libraries I was able to get a rough protoype working with
> commons-compress but only with extract support for RAR (due to licencing
> issues). Also, my prototype performance is poor so I definately need to
> improve it.
