>                 Key: SANDBOX-276
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-276
>             Project: Commons Sandbox
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Compress
>            Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
>            Assignee: Torsten Curdt
>            Priority: Minor
>
> I've recently applied three patches to the Ant code base that may be of interest to commons-compress as well.
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=738844&view=rev
> use more modern collections (since Ant trunk now officially is JDK 1.4+).  This results in some minor performance improvements because of less synchronization and a theoretical bigger improvement for entries with many extra fields.
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=738853&view=rev
> make sure the archive is closed in the presence of a RuntimeExcepetion which may happen when LFH parsing fails.
> Fixes https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46559
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=739300&view=rev
> skip extra fields that don't follow the recommended HEADER-ID, LENGTH structure at the end of the extra field (this is what unzip does as well).
> Fixes https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42940
> There are two more issues open in Ant's bugzilla I may be working on over the next few weeks (low prio for me):
> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46637 - which may be impossible to do in a backwards compatible way (not a concern for a sandbox component, I guess) and the more important https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45429 which would allow archives to contain files bigger than 2 GB and support UTF8 filenames in a more portable way.
> Technically I am a commons committer, maybe we can collaborate on the required changes via the commons dev list (or Ant's).
