Hello, everyone.
In the last IRC meeting, I offered to take a shot at porting the LZMA2 decoder from ANSI C to Java, for the benefit of Okawix's effort to ship ZIM support for the Android platform.
As Tommi suspected, it is indeed a little complicated.
I am, however, making progress, and am committed to finishing the job. However, I have many constraints on my time, and I *cannot* commit to a deadline.
Nevertheless, just in case I _am_ able to make it, what is the *latest* you guys at Okawix can receive a working LZMA2 Decoder and still ship on time?
If I can't deliver by that deadline, I'll still finish the job, and it'll wait for a future release, and in the meantime may come in handy to other people who might need LZMA2 in Java.
There's _nothing working_ to see yet, but if you like, you can follow the development on GitHub: http://github.com/abartov/LZMA2-java
http://github.com/abartov/LZMA2-javaI'll post to this list anyhow once I have something working.
Cheers,
Asaf
