How to extract a .Z file in java?

Question

I can extract zip, tar, tar.gz and tar.bz at apache.commons.compress. But I can not extract tar.Z in apache.commons.compress or java. Who can help me?

Answer 1

The tar.Z means that the file is a compressed tarball using the compress utility, not gzip .

The only library that seems to support it: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/tar-java.asp

Hope this helps.
