Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-214:
-----------------------------------------
I went ahead and moved the method from ZipArchiveEntry to ZipFile in revision
1444779 - and added a tiny bit of documentation with 1444780 so people know how
to do it using ZipArchiveInputStream. it would be great if you found the time
to review the changes.
Sorry for being impatient, but I'd love to cut a new release really soon.
> better support for unix symlinks

> The current API is a little awkward when dealing with symlinks (e.g., those
> created using Info-Zip's "zip -y").
> I propose the following three methods for ZipArchiveEntry:
> {noformat}
> public boolean isUnixSymlink()
> public String getUnixSymlink(ZipFile zf)
> public String getUnixSymlink(ZipFile zf, String pathCharset)
> {noformat}
