I just found a new issue with compress. It's the "normalizeFileName" in TarArchiveEntry again. On Windows it just strips the drive letter
https://github.com/apache/commons-compress/blob/master/src/ main/java/org/apache/commons/compress/archivers/tar/ TarArchiveEntry.java#L1337 which I think is a questionable default behaviour IMO. TarArchiveEntry("C:\foo\bar") -> "/foo/bar" TarArchiveEntry("D:\foo\bar") -> "/foo/bar" Is that in line with how other unix tool ports handle things on windows? cheers, Torsten PS: Just for you sebb ;)
