I doubt it - without LZMA support, only 7z archives created with special options can be read. Additionally 7z archives require seeking, so there's only SevenZFile, no SevenZArchiveInputStream. > You are talking about read-only suppport, right?

Yes, so I started from scratch, worked only from the 7zFormat.txt file, and when that wasn't enough, ported bits of the LZMA SDK's C/C++ 7z code in the public domain to Java, and have given attribution as per LEGAL-72. >> Can I go ahead and commit it, or would you like to review it first? > > I'd be fine with reviewing progress in svn and tracking progress on > COMPRESS-54. It's committed now :). I tried to use "Jira issue key: COMPRESS-54" in the commit message but nothing in Jira happened? > Stefan Damjan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
