[jira] [Commented] (COMPRESS-404) Add Path equivalents to TarArchiveEntry, with methods using File delegating to equivalents

["Michael Osipov (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-404?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17385580#comment-17385580 ] 

Michael Osipov commented on COMPRESS-404:
-----------------------------------------

This wasn't a good merge. The title says "Add Path equivalents to TarArchiveEntry, with methods using File delegating to equivalents", but it doesn't actually say that all NIO2 views will be queried and set in the tar file. Se COMPRESS-583.

> (This is a reasonable place to start, as Paths give better access to tar-relevant metadata on unix system).
> Symlink info is easier to obtain
> Unix based Paths allow access to useful attributes under "unix:*"  
> - numeric uid and gid 
> - string owner and group names
> - mtime,ctime,atime 
> - numeric mode
> - numeric dev and inode 
> - numeric rdev 
> - Linux, Solaris and Windows allow access to extended attributes 
> (MacOS X xattrs aren't supported as of jdk 9)
