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

A bit modified (shorter) version using NIO2:

private def zip(out: Path, files: Iterable[Path]) = {
  val zip = new ZipOutputStream(Files.newOutputStream(out))

  files.foreach { file =>
    zip.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(file.toString))
    Files.copy(file, zip)
    zip.closeEntry()
  }
  zip.close()
}
