LZMA2-java

[Asaf Bartov]

Hello, everyone.

In the last IRC meeting, I offered to take a shot at porting the LZMA2
decoder from ANSI C to Java, for the benefit of Okawix's effort to ship ZIM
support for the Android platform.

As Tommi suspected, it is indeed a little complicated.

I am, however, making progress, and am committed to finishing the job.
However, I have many constraints on my time, and I *cannot* commit to a
deadline.

Nevertheless, just in case I _am_ able to make it, what is the *latest* you
guys at Okawix can receive a working LZMA2 Decoder and still ship on time?

If I can't deliver by that deadline, I'll still finish the job, and it'll
wait for a future release, and in the meantime may come in handy to other
people who might need LZMA2 in Java.

There's _nothing working_ to see yet, but if you like, you can follow the
development on GitHub:
http://github.com/abartov/LZMA2-java

<http://github.com/abartov/LZMA2-java>I'll post to this list anyhow once I
have something working.

Cheers,

Asaf

Thanks a lot, Asaf!

To attract more attention I have put a news box on our openZIM webpage.
I also added your press release to our media section.

Regards,


Manuel

I just found this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzipjbind/

I don't know if it helps. A native library seems to be much better than
just a binding, especially if the result has to be embedded on other
platforms like Android.

Hmm.

Thanks, I'll take a look!
