Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-135:
-----------------------------------------
You don't say how you are zipping your entries.
If you use the ZipArchiveEntry constructor accepting a file argument it should
read the last modification time from the file instance. If you use any of the
other ZipArchiveEntry constructors you are responsible of setting the time
yourself - see java.util.zip.ZipEntry#setTime.
> Original file creation date is not retained when files are added to a zip
> archive

> Key: COMPRESS-135
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-135
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Environment: Windows XP & Server 2003
> Reporter: Claire Salac
>
> I have a Java program using the Apache zip archives library to zip together
> files with a common create month. However, when the resulting zip archives
> are examined the create date of all the files in the archive has been changed
> to the date the archive was created. It is critical that we retain the create
> date in these archives as they will be used for troubleshooting at a future
> date. Is there a way that this can be done currently, or is it something that
> will need to be addressed in a future build?
