Today I will explain how easily we can compress files and folders in java.
I have used a third part library which so simple to use.
Download the .jar from the following URL
https://rauschig.org/jarchivelib/download.html
Now, create a java class and create .tar.gz and .zip files.
Sample source code
package gunziptest;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.rauschig.jarchivelib.ArchiveFormat;
import org.rauschig.jarchivelib.Archiver;
import org.rauschig.jarchivelib.ArchiverFactory;
import org.rauschig.jarchivelib.CompressionType;
/**

* @author psrdotcom
*/
public class GunZipTest {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Archive file name
String archiveName = "archive";
// test is destination folder
File destination = new File("test");
// source folder has files and sub-folders
File archive = null;
// zip compression
Archiver archiver = ArchiverFactory.createArchiver(ArchiveFormat.ZIP);
try {
archive = archiver.create(archiveName, destination, source);
if(archive != null && archive.isFile()) {
System.out.println("gunziptest.GunZipTest.main()" + "zip file created");
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(GunZipTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
// tar.gz compression
archiver = ArchiverFactory.createArchiver(ArchiveFormat.TAR, CompressionType.GZIP);
try {
archive = archiver.create(archiveName, destination, source);
if(archive != null && archive.isFile()) {
System.out.println("gunziptest.GunZipTest.main()" + "zip file created");
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(GunZipTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
Hope, you will find this useful.
