Java compression library

Hi,

I'm currently working on a JEE 2 project, building a webservice. In
this project we can receive files from another system in Gzip/Zip of
Bzip2. Now the problem is we need to unzip these files in Java. Does
any of you know a good library which supports all these formats?

I did find some libs that do zip and gzip, but they all don't support
bzip2. The only thing I found that has all three is commons.compress
but its unreleased, and we don't really want to use it since it still
has problems with bzip2.

Thanks in advance,

Roy van Rijn

Hi Roy,
Did you try using java.util.zip for handling ZIP files

Did you try *bzip2 library from apache Ant* URL : http://www.kohsuke.org/bzip2/
