How do I archive multiple files into a .zip file using scala?

Question

Could anyone post a simple snippet that does this?

Files are text files, so compression would be nice rather than just archive the files.

I have the filename

I recently had to work with zip files too and found this very nice utility: https://github.com/zeroturnaround/zt-zip

Here's an example of zipping all files inside a directory:

import org.zeroturnaround.zip.ZipUtil
ZipUtil.pack(new File("/tmp/demo"), new File("/tmp/demo.zip"))

Very convenient.
