--------------------------------------

             Summary: better support for unix symlinks
                 Key: COMPRESS-214
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-214
             Project: Commons Compress
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Archivers
            Reporter: Julius Davies
            Assignee: Julius Davies
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.5


The current API is a little awkward when dealing with symlinks (e.g., those created using Info-Zip's "zip -y").

I propose the following three methods for ZipArchiveEntry:

{noformat}
public boolean isUnixSymlink()

public String getUnixSymlink(ZipFile zf)

public String getUnixSymlink(ZipFile zf, String pathCharset)
{noformat}
