[gephi-dev] Adding TAR.GZ archives support

[Martin Skurla]

Hi,


I was looking at source codes and what I found is following:

1. zip is supported because of native zip/jar support included in
NetBeans platform
2. it supports currently only jar/zip, because of native java support
for zip format (classes like ZipInputStream, ZipEntry, ...)
3. tar format simply packs more files into 1 file adding some metadata
stored in 512kB store & gzip adds additional compression
4. java automatically supports gzip format too (GZIPInputStream,
although it is more low level)

=> I think the patch adding tar.gzip will be quite easy to implement.

Mathieu, am I right about upper notes?
Does current support for jar/zip supports only one file in zip?
Where should the patch be merged into?
