Hello, I'm using Apache Commons Compress version 1.27.0 to create a zip archive and running into a problem when I set the creation, last modified and last access times of the ZipArchiveEntry objects. As I iterate over the files to add to the ZipArchiveOutputStream I set all three times to the same value like this:
... final FileTime time = FileTime.fromMillis(timeInMilliseconds); final ZipArchiveOutputStream zip = new ZipArchiveOutputStream(os)); final ZipArchiveEntry entry = zip.createArchiveEntry(file, name); entry.setCreationTime(time); entry.setLastModifiedTime(time); entry.setLastAccessTime(time); zip.putArchiveEntry(entry); ... But when I open the zip archive after it has been created, not every file has the same times for those metadata fields. For example, all of the XML files in the zip archive have correctly set creation, last modified and last access times. The same is true with directories. But all other files in the archive, whether they are plain text or images or any other mime type, only have the correct creation and last modified times. None of them have the correct last access time. I cannot figure out why the setLastAccessTime() method works for one particular type of file but not any others. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a solution that I'm missing? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
