| ZipFileSystem is a file system provider that treats the contents of a zip or |
| JAR file as a java.nio.file.FileSystem. |
| |
| The factory methods defined by the java.nio.file.FileSystems class can be |
| used to create a FileSystem, eg: |
| |
| // use file type detection |
| Path jarfile = Paths.get("foo.jar"); |
| FileSystem fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(jarfile, null); |
| |
| -or |
| |
| // locate file system by the legacy JAR URL syntax |
| Map<String,?> env = Collections.emptyMap(); |
| URI uri = URI.create("jar:file:/mydir/foo.jar"); |
| FileSystem fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env); |
| |
| Once a FileSystem is created then classes in the java.nio.file package |
| can be used to access files in the zip/JAR file, eg: |
| |
| Path mf = fs.getPath("/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"); |
| InputStream in = mf.newInputStream(); |
| |
| See Demo.java for more interesting usages. |
