Christian Grobmeier commented on COMPRESS-59:
---------------------------------------------
By extending from AbstractArchiveEntry, the JarArchiveEntry would be more ugly.
Currently it is:
public class JarArchiveEntry extends ZipArchiveEntry implements ArchiveEntry
Same is with ZipArchiveEntry:
public class ZipArchiveEntry extends java.util.zip.ZipEntry
implements ArchiveEntry, Cloneable
Why not simply implement toString() for the 5 classes we have? I would think
that toString() should return all header data.as a string.
This reminds me that we have to override hashCode (if somebody wants to put
this archiveentry into a hashmap) and equals() too.
> ArchiveEntry could have toString methods for formatting header contents

> I think it would be useful if the ArchiveEntry interface had some methods for
> formatting the entry information as a String.
> This could then be used to create an Archive scanner to list archive
> contents, for example.
> There should probably be two methods:
> toShortString() - shows name, type and size only.
> toLongString() - shows all the details.
