Is there a Java library to create cabinet files on Unix. I don’t need any compression support. I just want to create a plain cab file using Java.
Something similar to cablib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cablib/) which can only be used for reading cab files would be perfect.
If there is really no library can I use a feasible work around? E.g. create a ZIP file and somehow convert it into a CAB file?
Comments have suggested using the Linux Icab tool.
The ZIP file format is different in too many respects for there to be a simple transformation to turn a ZIP file into a CAB file.
