[VFS] Modifying / Creating zip archives

Hello,

I was looking at your VFS project which is really interesting ! I was 
wondering if you planned to implement functions to create / modify a zip 
archive (adding / removing entries), like TrueZip does.

Thanks !
Pierre

we had lots of discussions about truezip in the past and came to the
conclusion, that we prefer an own impl. like commons-compress before
truezip.

Yes TrueZip works pretty well, even if the system limits may be reached when scanning large amount of files. 
But TrueZip development seems to be abandonned for some time now...

Well, Truezip does the trick but I think having a more general library would be nicer (and something maybe more reliable on time-basis).

There is a TrueZip provider.  I'm not sure what it's current status is
though, or where to find the adapter jar:

It is planned - VFS has old code in its base.
When compress (sandbox) is redesigned, tested and accepted,
VFs will depend on that. Compress currently has some remove-functions now,
which you can see here:
