Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-311:
-----------------------------------------
The 100 byte length is the maximum length you can get from a traditional ustar
tar file.
There are several other dialects of tar that allow you to use longer file names
and Commons Compress supports the most important ones: GNU and POSIX. You just
have to select the dialect explicitly. See
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/tar.html#Long_File_Names
You should check with the software you want to use to extract the archive
whether it supports one of those dialects. Chances are your unarchiver will
support POSIX since this is what all current tar implementations are based on.
> File Name too long (>100 bytes) when trying to create a Tar,and I cn not
> reduce file name as per my requirement.
