Andres Almiray updated COMPRESS-682:
------------------------------------
Description:
The XAR archive format definition can be found at
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xar_(archiver)]
There are a couple of Java based implementations but they seem to be no longer
maintained. Also, they have external dependencies that may no longer be
required if relying in JDK utility classes and facilities exposed by
commons-compress
[https://github.com/sprylab/xar] is ASL 2.0
[https://github.com/gino0631/xar] is LGPL 3.0
