Antlib supports gzip and bzip2 compression and ar, cpio, tar and
zip archives.</p>
+ <h3>Known Limitations</h3>
+
+ <p>The archiving tasks currently don't support the equivalent of
+ the core zip task's update attribute, this will be added before
+ the first release of the Antlib.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code>tar</code> task currently doesn't support the
+ equivalent of the core task's <code>longfile</code> attribute -
+ the <code>untar</code> task and the resources support this
+ format transparently, though - this is expected to be fixed
+ before the first release of the Antlib.</p>
+
+ <p>Using Apache Commons Compress the AR and CPIO formats don't
+ read or write timestamps, permissions, userids and groupids
+ properly - this has been fixed in the svn trunk of Apache
+ Commons Compress and will be fixed with the next release of
+ it.</p>
+
+ <p>Reading AR archives from non-filesystem resources currently
+ fails for reasons that haven't been investigated, yet. Most
+ likely the problem is within Apache Commons Compress.</p>

<h3>Tasks and Types</h3>
