Sebb commented on COMPRESS-64:
------------------------------
I now think that the finish method may be useful for some archive types which
allow arbitrary data to be added at the end of the archive.
However, I think the method should throw an Exception if the user tries to call
it twice.
> 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?
