I see. I've commented on COMPRESS-111, personally I'd prefer a XZ for
Java based solution which would likely Lasse to make LZMA support public
inside XZ for Java.

It might be possible to provide SevenZArchiveInputStream for Files or
FileInputStreams by just providing a streaming interface above
SevenZFile - but I better look at your code before speculating

There is some delay, I see your commit now on the "Source" tab of the

your changes in detail.
