Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources]

This class describes a single entry (typically a compressed file) stored within a ZIP file. The various methods get and set various pieces of information about the entry. The ZipEntry class is used by ZipFile and ZipInputStream, which read ZIP files, and by ZipOutputStream, which writes ZIP files.

When you are reading a ZIP file, a ZipEntry object returned by ZipFile or ZipInputStream contains the name, size, modification time, and other information about an entry in the file. When writing a ZIP file, on the other hand, you must create your own ZipEntry objects and initialize them to contain the entry name and other appropriate information before writing the contents of the entry.
