Class	Description
ArchiveEntry	An entry of an archive.
ArchiveException	Archiver related Exception.
ArchiveInputStream<E extends ArchiveEntry>	Archive input streams MUST override the FilterInputStream.read(byte[], int, int) - or ArchiveInputStream.read() - method so that reading from the stream generates EOF for the end of data in each entry as well as at the end of the file proper.
ArchiveOutputStream<E extends ArchiveEntry>	Archive output stream implementations are expected to override the FilterOutputStream.write(byte[], int, int) method to improve performance.
ArchiveStreamFactory	Factory to create Archive[In|Out]putStreams from names or the first bytes of the InputStream.
ArchiveStreamProvider	Creates Archive ArchiveInputStreams and ArchiveOutputStreams.
EntryStreamOffsets	Provides information about ArchiveEntry stream offsets.
Lister	Simple command line application that lists the contents of an archive.
