For what it's worth, I tried the following:

if /bin/tar xf ~/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.tar; then
  echo SUCCESS;
else
  echo FAILURE;
fi

with a now ancient BSD-derived version of tar on NEXTSTEP 3.3 m68k with the
following identifying information in the binary:

@(#)PROGRAM:tar  PROJECT:sgcmds-56  DEVELOPER:root  BUILT:Wed Oct 19 04:46:45
WET 1994
@(#) Copyright (c) 1980 Regents of the University of California.  All rights
reserved.

and the result was SUCCESS.  Historically, the NEXTSTEP version of tar tended
to have many problems with tar files generated by other flavors tar.
Therefore, if there's no issue with that tar, it's a good bet the problem
isn't the archiving format.

If you are uncompressing the archive first before untarring it (as
opposed to using tar zxf as supported by GNU tar), tar may not be
the problem at all.  In some environments, creating a file from
STDOUT like
  gunzip -c foo.tar.gz > foo.tar
will add an additional null to mark EOF.  If you're doing something
like that, try not using STDOUT redirection.  Alternatively, use
the zip archive.

Regardless, I don't believe this is really a jakarta-oro issue and
will eventually mark the issue as Resolved: INVALID unless it turns
out the problem is Ant tar or gzip task issue and the issue is refiled.
