Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-64:
----------------------------------------

see COMPRESS-42

flush comes in handy when you are writing to a network stream, for example.

Whether our implementations are really safe is a totally different question 8-)

> Are the public finish() methods ArchiveOutputStream implementations necessary 
> and safe?

> Some of the ArchiveOutputStream implementations have public finish() methods. 
> These are currently only called from the close() methods.
> Seems to me that there is no need to allow the finish() methods to be called 
> externally, and the user can corrupt the output if they do.
> Surely the close() method is all that is needed?
