[compress] Moving forward...
Is the following a correct summary of the current state of compress:
* Tar, BZip2 and Zip libraries (taken from Ant). The Tar one was
originally Tim Endres' public domain ice library.
* VFS release is held up by lack of a stable/promoted compress.
* Maven (in plexus at codehaus) have a fork of compress with bugs fixed.
* Chris has an archive bridging API that would fit well at the top of compress
* Will has zip updating available
* 4 issues in Bugzilla
* I have an issue mailed to me privately that I need to put in bugzilla
Anything I missed?

Mario said so.

True. Plexus has not factory, so it's not perfectly usable
> * Chris has an archive bridging API that would fit well at the top of compress
True :-)
> * Will has zip updating available
True
> * 4 issues in Bugzilla
1 is solved using my implementation, one is a wish for more performance.

Don't know ;-)

I made a quick look at plexus and I think you are right, there isnt much
difference (though, it depends on some object lookup facility which is
not available outside - so only problems ;-) ) and there isnt much we
can win after you already refactored the stuff.

The archiver bridging api isn't to complex and is quite similar to what
i wrote, but there are some "problems":
Plexus isn't documented. The difference between archiver and compressor
isn't clear enough, imho. There are some things i like, some i don't. I
really would like to go ahead with what i wrote till now, and merge just
single methods/functionallity we really need into compress.
Enhancing plexus would mean, that i refactor plexus to what i wrote by
now. That plexus is tested is really a plus, but after checking out the
code brought up a lot of compile errors, missing references etc., so...
I would like to keep a clean base.
In short: i would like to keep the new, clean, documented build bridge,
and enhance it with plexus features after it's stable.

Brett said that it provides an archive bridging API, so I was
wondering how that part of the Plexus one compared to your work Chris.
I presume their one is tried and tested in Maven 2, so that's a pro
for pulling it over into the Commons component and enhancing it.

It's quite similar to what we have. But i would prefer to build upon the
old commons code, enhance it and the merge single features from plexus
to commons.

Oops, sorry.
http://svn.plexus.codehaus.org/trunk/plexus-components/plexus-archiver/ btw.
How does that compare to what you have Chris?

Maven uses plexus-archiver, which has the same ancestry (from Ant) but
is not a fork. It provides an archive bridging API, which I hope is
inspiring the compress one - though I'm still yet to find time to sit
down with it and poke around :(
