java - How to unzip all the files in a specific directory of a zip file?

Question

Say I have a .zip file called Bundles.zip and directly inside Bundles.zip, there are a few files and a few folders. This is what the .zip looks like:

Now, I want to extract EVERYTHING from the Bundles folder. My program already knows the name of the folder that it needs to extract the files from, in this case, Bundles.

The Bundles folder inside the zip can have files, subfolders, files in the subfolders, basically anything, like this:

And I just need to extract everything from the Bundles folder to an output directory.

How can I accomplish this in Java? I have found answers which extract all the files and folders inside the zip, but I need to extract only a specific folder inside the zip, not everything.

Working code so far:

            ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile(mapsDirectory + "mapUpload.tmp");
            Enumeration zipEntries = zipFile.entries();
            String fname;
            String folderToExtract = "";
            String originalFileNameNoExtension = originalFileName.replace(".zip", "");

            while (zipEntries.hasMoreElements()) {
                ZipEntry ze = ((ZipEntry)zipEntries.nextElement());

                fname = ze.getName();

                if (ze.isDirectory()) //if it is a folder
                {

                    if(originalFileNameNoExtension.contains(fname)) //if this is the folder that I am searching for
                    {
                        folderToExtract = fname; //the name of the folder to extract all the files from is now fname
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }

            if(folderToExtract == "")
            {
                printError(out, "Badly packaged Unturned map error:  " + e.getMessage());
                return;
            }


            //now, how do i extract everything from the folder named folderToExtract?

For the code so far, the originalFileName is something like "The Island.zip". Inside the zip there is a folder called The Island. I need to find the folder inside the zip file that matches the zip file's name, and extract everything inside that.

A much easier way to do that is using the NIO API of Java 7. I've just done that for one of my projects:

private void extractSubDir(URI zipFileUri, Path targetDir)
        throws IOException {

    FileSystem zipFs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(zipFileUri, new HashMap<>());
    Path pathInZip = zipFs.getPath("path", "inside", "zip");
    Files.walkFileTree(pathInZip, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
        @Override
        public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path filePath, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
            // Make sure that we conserve the hierachy of files and folders inside the zip
            Path relativePathInZip = pathInZip.relativize(filePath);
            Path targetPath = targetDir.resolve(relativePathInZip.toString());
            Files.createDirectories(targetPath.getParent());

            // And extract the file
            Files.copy(filePath, targetPath);

            return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
        }
    });
}

Voilà. Much cleaner than using ZipFile and ZipEntry, and it has the additional benefit of being re-usable for copying folder structure from ANY type of file system, not only for zip files.
