How to open rar file in java 1.4

I guess 开发者_Python百科ZipFile doesn't supprort rar file. What lib is better to use to unrar rar files and unzip zip files in java 1.4

I was going to suggest Raroscope but it only allows scanning of the file. I suspect the best option is to execute rar.exe from your Java program.

Junrar adds support to read and extract a rar.

It came from an old sourceforge-host port of the unrar library that is no longer available and went to github on https://github.com/edmund-wagner/junrar

The newest version is available in https://github.com/junrar/junrar/ and can be included as dependency in maven as

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.junrar</groupId>
  <artifactId>junrar</artifactId>
  <version>0.7</version>
</dependency> 

it is a good option

Doesn't seem to be a lot out there. Take a look at this library:

For Zip files I'd use Apache Commons / Compress

Rar Files are a lot harder. There's almost nothing I could find, except a sample source file in the Google Code project JDVKat which uses a library called de.innosystec.unrar that's supposedly "a piece of shit" (sorry, but that's what it reads). (You can also download the library there)
