             Summary: Change Zip4j in favor of commons-compress
                 Key: ARQ-1864
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1864
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Extension - Spacelift

UnZip tool is based on zip4j library. The problem is that sometimes the files are tar, gzip, 7z, or arj. I suggest to change zip4j to commons-compress which supports a lot of compress algorithms in order to be able to write some Tool like UnzipTool, UntarTool and so on and even a generic UnCompressTool which you set the algorithm to be used.

http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.apache.commons%7Ccommons-compress%7C1.8.1%7Cjar

The good news is that this library is maintained as well (last version released is from May 2014.

Again if you agree I will implement the change.

Note: that I have never found this error because I download zip files but today it is the first time I have found this barrier.

Of course another approach is to use GZipIS but because we are already using zip4j we can drop it and add this library.
