Hash: SHA1

The Apache Compress Antlib offers tasks and types for the archive and
compression formats like CPIO, XZ, Pack200, LZMA, ARJ, .Z, Snappy, 7z
and AR supported by Apache Commons Compress as well as
re-implementations of the formats already supported by Ant's core.

Version 1.4 catches up with Apache Commons Compress 1.7 and adds
read-only tasks and resources for Snappy and the traditional Unix .Z
compression.

Support for the XZ and LZMA compression formats is based on the XZ for
Java library of the Tukaani Project[1], which is required at runtime in
addition to Commons Compress.  Some 7z archives will require LZMA
support and thus XZ for Java as well.

Source and binary distributions are available from the Apache Ant
download site:

http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/bindownload.cgi

and
