Bear Giles commented on COMPRESS-136:
-------------------------------------
Implementation note: Java 7 will add two packages with similar content. See
http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/index.html?java/nio/file/Files.html
More info: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javase/nio/
Obviously the CC classes can't use J7 classes but it could useful as a model
for method names and the like.
> Create common POSIXArchiveEntry for use with tar/cpio/dump

> Key: COMPRESS-136
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-136
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Archivers
> Reporter: Bear Giles
> Priority: Minor
>
> There's currently a top-level ArchiveEntry but many archivers are for POSIX
> (or POSIX-like) filesystems with standard attributes - ownership,
> permissions, access times, etc. By creating a common ArchiveEntry class for
> these attributes it will be much easier to write archive-agnostic extraction
> software. (Many of the existing methods should be marked 'deprecated' but
> left in place indefinitely.)
> I have a prototype of this class in my dump patch.
