Torsten Curdt closed COMPRESS-120.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
If you want to filter the names before extraction do so by wrapping the call to
the name
String safeName = filter(entry.getName())
IMO this is out of the scope of commons compress so closing this issue.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-120
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: WindowsXP32bit
> Reporter: Helmut Minst
> Priority: Minor
>
> while uncompressing a tar archive, which includes files and directories
> containing special characters like
> private char[] forbiddenCharsWindows = new char[] { ':', '*', '?', '"', '<',
> '>', '|' }; the name of the tarEntry is corrupt
> and to create the directory or file is not possible. Exceptions occurs while
> creating them.
> it would be better to replace them with '_' instead to respond invalid
> entrynames.
