How to Compress/Decompress tar.gz files in java

Question

Can anyone show me the correct way to compress and decompress tar.gzip files in java i\'ve been searching but the most i can find is either zip or gzip(alone).

Answer 1

In my experience Apache Compress is much more mature than Plexus Archiver, specifically because of issues like http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLXCOMP-131.

I believe Apache Compress has more activity as well.
