Portable java solution for zipping/unzipping

Question

I'm looking for a simple package that I may simply call from command line (i.e. batch script) that can mostly replace the functionality of zip/unzip tools in Linux. Ideally, I'd be able to deploy the application (.jar file) to any machine that runs Java, tell it what to unzip and it does it's thing. This seems like it should be fairly simple and I don't want to re-invent the wheel, but I can't seem to find something like this. Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

I don't know a ready tool, but you could easily (a single class probably) write your own unzip tool in Java using the classes from java.util.zip, e.g. the ZipFile class.
