ZipFile (Apache Ant API)

org.apache.tools.zip

## Class ZipFile

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.zip.ZipFile

-     public class ZipFile
      extends java.lang.Object

  Replacement for `java.util.ZipFile`.

  This class adds support for file name encodings other than UTF-8 (which is required to work on ZIP files created by native zip tools and is able to skip a preamble like the one found in self extracting archives. Furthermore it returns instances of `org.apache.tools.zip.ZipEntry` instead of `java.util.zip.ZipEntry`.

  It doesn't extend `java.util.zip.ZipFile` as it would have to reimplement all methods anyway. Like `java.util.ZipFile`, it uses RandomAccessFile under the covers and supports compressed and uncompressed entries. As of Apache Ant 1.9.0 it also transparently supports Zip64 extensions and thus individual entries and archives larger than 4 GB or with more than 65536 entries.

  The method signatures mimic the ones of `java.util.zip.ZipFile`, with a couple of exceptions:

  - There is no getName method.
  - entries has been renamed to getEntries.
  - getEntries and getEntry return `org.apache.tools.zip.ZipEntry` instances.
  - close is allowed to throw IOException.
