Hi!

It is an interesting topic (to underline this: I am sitting here on vacation for a hadful of days using my mobile to write this mail ;-) ), though, due to some other OS projects I am really getting out of time. Anyway, the j.i.file way of truezip is the case why I didnt support this idea actively - i dont like this api.

Agree, that's why I didn't pursue the idea as well. The way things are done via truezip (constantly rolling over the contents of the zip file) makes it dead slow for large files. The zip file really should be 'mounted' on a scratch disk (or at least the portion that is being used) and 'unmounted' upon closing the FS.

Good luck doing that cross platform in java :)
Well, I didn't mean mount as in actually mount a file system, just unzip and maintain an uncompressed directory tree of the portions of the zip file that are in use in java.io.tmpdir. Right now truezip is updating the zip file itself for every single operation, and that's where it's losing all performance. So, it's not _that_ hard ;-).
