Replacement for java.util.zip for streaming usage?
- by evilfred
java.util.zip sucks for stream compression. The longer you leave an Inflator/Deflator open without calling end(), the more native memory it uses up. This is a known issue: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4797189 which nobody seems to care about fixing.
What is a good alternative? Preferably one that is free and is still actively supported by its developers.
