---------------------------------------
Summary: Deal with lastAccessTime and creationTime in
ZipArchiveEntry
Key: COMPRESS-458
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-458
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Archivers
Affects Versions: 1.17
Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
With Java8 {{ZipEntry}} has new getters and setters for the last access time
and file creation time are backed by at least one of the extra fields
ExtendedTimeStamp or NTFS (potentially by both of them). {{ZipArchiveEntry}}
inherits those methods when running on Java8+ and users expect them to work,
which they don't in our implementation. Unfortunately the internal
implementation of the setters seems to modify the extra data in {{ZipEntry}}
directly so the extra fields are not visible to {{ZipArchiveEntry}} which
shadows the extra data held by the super class
Unless we want to fiddle with reflection a proper implementation will only be
possible once Compress requires Java8. Once we are there we should override the
methods to properly create extra fields ourselves in the setters and parse them
inside the getters.
