Comment #1 originally posted by codenameone on 2013-06-21T05:48:48.000Z: That seems like a somewhat specific use case that might be better served by an external CN1Lib rather than incorporation into the core, right? |
Comment #2 originally posted by codenameone on 2013-06-21T16:40:54.000Z: I agree that this is a specific use case. I had not been aware of external CN1Libs. Is there a central place where those go, or is it just a naming convention that you recommend for individual CN1-compatible projects? |
Comment #3 originally posted by codenameone on 2013-06-21T16:47:34.000Z: I found a blog post about CN1Libs - http://www.codenameone.com/3/post/2013/02/new-preliminary-library-support.html From what I read there, it sounds like CN1Libs are managed by the community. I'm guessing that I should upload the lib to google code as an individual project? |
Comment #4 originally posted by codenameone on 2013-06-21T18:32:32.000Z: No currently there is no standard repository. This is on our todo list though. |
Comment #5 originally posted by codenameone on 2013-11-20T23:54:31.000Z: I have packaged these files up in a CN1 library and posted it on GitHub. In my initial tests it appears to be working ok. |
Thanks for this, it is now integrated into the project as part of implementing issue 1325 |
Original issue 754 created by codenameone on 2013-06-20T19:55:22.000Z:
As far as I can tell, Codename One does not currently have any utility code for creating a tar, zip, or any other file which packages together multiple files for later unpackaging.
Please add a library for reading and writing simple uncompressed tar files.
I have modified jtar to be compatible with Codename One (I have not given them a Codename One package name - I'm leaving that up to you.)
Jtar is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. I believe that by adding comments to the files indicating that they were modified, I have satisfied the terms of that license such that I can use and distribute the code freely (please correct me if you believe that is not the case.)
The modifications are my own and I give Codename One permission to use, modify, and distribute the code in any way that does not violate any law or the pre-existing license under which jtar is provided.
I have not extensively tested the code so I recommend doing some of your own testing to make sure it passes your quality standards.
