Parameters:

archive - the archive file to check.

Returns:

a new Archiver instance (that may also handle compression)

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given file is not a known archive

createArchiver

public static Archiver createArchiver(FileType fileType)

Creates an Archiver that handles the given FileType. The Archiver may handle compression inherently, if the FileType uses a compression type, such as ".tgz" might.

Parameters:

fileType - the file type

Returns:

a new Archiver instance (that may also handle compression)

createArchiver

public static Archiver createArchiver(java.lang.String archiveFormat,
