Wolfgang Bergner commented on COMPRESS-54:
------------------------------------------

Just had a look at the 7z SDK on http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html. It really looks like C-style Java code, which is pretty hard to integrate into a Java project.
1. As some time has passed meanwhile, has anyone managed to convert it into a stream based Java implementation? Or even tried to embedd it into Apache Commons Compress?
2. Does anyone know if licenses could be a conflicting issue?

> Has anyone looked into adding support for 7zip and RAR file types? Using the j7zip and junrar libraries I was able to get a rough protoype working with commons-compress but only with extract support for RAR (due to licencing issues). Also, my prototype performance is poor so I definately need to improve it.
