Sebb created COMPRESS-195:
-----------------------------
Summary: 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.
