#80 Files become folders when extracting

[Jochen Schwarze]

To reproduce this:

1. Download apache-ant-1.5.2-bin.zip from

http://www.apache.de/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.
5.2-bin.zip

2. Right-click "Extract files" and extract the archive to
some path (with default settings)

3. Check the extracted folder ...\apache-ant-1.5.
2-bin\bin: it contains several sub-folders named "ant"
"andRun" "antRun.pl" "runant.pl" "runant.py", which
should all be files, not folders.

Version is 7-Zip 2.30 Beta 28 unter Windows XP Pro.

Seems some files in that archive has directory attribute.
Do you know in what OS it was created and by what
software?

Igor:

Thanks for responding. I'm afraid I don't know how this file
was created. It's the official distribution archive of the current
Apache Ant version (Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool).
I'm not affiliated with the Apache Project in any way, but you
might contact them at http://ant.apache.org/contributors.html.

Well, Ant is a _Java_ build tool, so you could _suspect_ that
the archive was created with the Java built-in zip utility
called "jar".

Probably I'll change my zip handling source code to
support such archive.
But imho it's bug in creating archive software.
