Sebb updated COMPRESS-195:
--------------------------
Attachment: Archiver.java
Sample archiver class
> Additional command-line utility classes
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-195
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sebb
> Attachments: Archiver.java
>
>
> There is a Lister command-line utility which can be used to list the contents
> of any archive.
> It might be useful to have corresponding simple extraction / creation
> utilities for archive and compressed formats.
> For example:
> + archive contents of a directory (see attached)
> + extract archive into directory
> + compress/decompress files
> The existing Lister class is the only main() class at present, and is set as
> the default entry point for the jar. This means users don't have to provide
> the class name on the command line.
> It would be useful to extend this feature to cover the other command-line
> utilities.
> For example, create a new Main class as the default entry point, but delegate
> to the existing class if there are 1 or two parameters.
> Otherwise, delegate to the appropriate new utility class, e.g. based on a
> command-line flag.
> Users would still be able to invoke the individual classes directly.
