Benjamin Marwell commented on COMPRESS-682:
-------------------------------------------
Here is one more. A file containing just "Hello, World!". compressed with gzip.
{code:java}
$ echo "Hello, World\!" > hello_world.txt
$ xar --distribution --compression gzip -cf hello_world.xar hello_world.txt
$ file hello_world.xar
hello_world.xar: xar archive compressed TOC: 349, SHA-1 checksum, contains
zlib compressed data
$ xar -tvf hello_world.xar
-rw-r--r-- unknown/unknown 14 1970-01-01 00:00:00 hello_world.txt
{code}
If you want to see the attributes, someone else should create those files.
Compression has been done on latest Mac Release.

> be required if relying in JDK utility classes and facilities exposed by
> commons-compress
