Hi, I have raised a bug with TarOutputStream when a TAR file is being written, and: 1. One or more filenames are so long that they require GNU mode 2. The platform encoding is UTF-8 3. Any character in a long filename results in a multibyte UTF-8 sequence
an exception is thrown: "Problem creating TAR: request to write 'xxx' bytes exceeds size in header of 'xxx' bytes" the same has been discussed and solved in: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLXCOMP-195 with the patch applied as well bug id: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53811 is there any chance of solving them in the next release.
