Recursively ZIP a directory containing any number of files and subdirectories in Java?

Question

Is there an easy way to recursively ZIP a directory that may or may not contain any number of files and any number of levels of subdirectories?

Answer 1

I use the ZipFileSystem implementation in ruby with great success, though I've never used it in java. You might want to check it out:

You can use: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/ and: http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/4123-how-do-you-recursively-traverse-through-file-folders.html
