Hi again, thanks for your efforts! I appreciate it.
I now what you mean now, but I think its pretty normal. Please look at what I did with Commons Compress: $ java -classpath commons-compress-1.4.1.jar org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.Lister org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0-source-release.zip Analysing org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0-source-release.zip Created org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipArchiveInputStream@2e8f4fb3 org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0/ org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0/src/ org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0/src/main/ org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0/src/main/appended-resources/ org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0/src/main/appended-resources/META-INF/ org.apache.felix.configadmin-1.6.0/src/main/java/ ... Felix configadmin does use the same format. The binary of Commons Compress has it too: $ java -classpath commons-compress-1.4.1.jar org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.Lister commons-compress-1.4.1-bin.zip Analysing commons-compress-1.4.1-bin.zip Created org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipArchiveInputStream@7bd63e39 commons-compress-1.4.1/ commons-compress-1.4.1/LICENSE.txt commons-compress-1.4.1/NOTICE.txt commons-compress-1.4.1/README.txt commons-compress-1.4.1/RELEASE-NOTES.txt commons-compress-1.4.1/commons-compress-1.4.1-tests.jar commons-compress-1.4.1/commons-compress-1.4.1.jar ... And of course the Apache Parent POM. So either all of these packages are "wrong" or it seems it is acceptable usage. Actually I think it is fine: it is the only folder which becomes extracted for me everything inside this folder is "root".

I looked at it as some kind of attribution, like here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/compress/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/compress/archivers/tar/TarArchiveInputStream.java Or similar as to the discouraged @author tags. Don't get me wrong, I am all for removing it and will discuss it on dev list. I am just thinking if this should block the release or not.
