We basically have two options:
* forking the required classes of XZ in Java into Compress (Lasse
already has a CLA on file and I'm sure we could arrange for the two
code bases to stay in sync)
* add a (optional) binary dependency on XZ in Java. Currently the
package is not available

the GNU core utils come with an xz command
Minor correction: GNU coreutils doesn't include compression tools.
GNU gzip is its own package and so are bzip2 (bzip.org) and xz
(tukaani.org).

Thank you.

Hi,
.xz is to LZMA what .gz is to the DEFLATE compression algorithm, and it
starts to get used by quite a few tools/systems in the Unix/Linux
world. For example more recent GNU tar versions use -J to support the
format (like
Shading a binary dependency could provide some middle ground.
Just curious - what is the advantage of shading the jar?
It becomes again just one jar with no dependencies ...almost as if we
forked the code.
