The abstract parent class for archive output streams has the method putArchiveEntry(ArchiveEntry)
but all the implementations - apart from Ar - also define the specific method putNextEntry(xxxArchiveEntry) where xxx = Zip, Jar, etc. Do we really need the latter method? Would it not just be simpler to keep the generic method and throw an Exception (e.g. ClassCast or IllegalParameter) if the wrong type of ArchiveEntry was provided? If the method is needed, then it ought to be documented in the abstract class. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
