Is there a standard or thirdparty library for opening Zip Files?

[djh]

I know you can use java.util.zip but I'm really looking for something
that has all of the scala goodies thrown in.

I've found a ZipArchive class in the scala.tools.nsc.io package which
offers pretty much *exactly* what I am looking for, but I've been told
that:-

a) This is part of the compiler tools
b) Is liable to change between releases.

So I was wondering if anyone has written a wrapper for java.util.zip
or something similar to the stuff above?

Thanks for any help.

If you keep the relevant compiler sources with your project sources, you probably don't have to worry too much about future changes.

Apache Commons VFS [1] makes dealing with archives fairly tolerable.
It's just a Java lib.

After the inevitable Duh! moment caused by this post (about 5 seconds
after clicking Send in the Groups Web interface), I deleted it.
Apparently they don't wait to post the email for dullards like me...

Thanks, this seems to do the trick pretty well.
