> The common-compress-1.4.1 api says it supports unlimited file sizes for tar and untar operations. [http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/compress/]
> Only Untar operations on a file > 8GB is fixed,
> But creating a tar on a file >8GB is not working.
> When I try to do  " tarOutputStream.putArchiveEntry(archiveEntry); " 
> i get the below exception. 
> java.lang.RuntimeException: entry size '9633985364' is too big ( > 8589934591 )
