zipME

zipME Japanese

What is zipME?

A pure Java zip compression library for Java ME CLDC/MIDP applications.

It is mostly compatible with the java.util.zip package in Java SE/CDC, so that an application can easily handle a zip file in the same manner as that in Java SE/CDC.

This library is useful because the CLDC/MIDP doesn't officially support the java.util.zip package or any of alternative zip compression/uncompression libraries.

How to Use

1. Requirements
In order to develop a MIDP application using zipME, the following software are required:
Java SE JDK 5.0
Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5 for CLDC

2. Installing the Library
Download the zipME binary release and unzip it. You will find 'zipme.jar' file under the 'lib' directory. Copy it into WTK's 'apps/<your_project_name>/lib' directory, where <your_project_name> is your MIDP application's project directory.

3. Developing an Application
Write application code that calls API in the net.sf.zipme.* package, and build it using WTK. zipME only requires the CLDC 1.0 and the MIDP 1.0 API.

Documentation

See the Javadoc for more details on the API.
