Zipped resource set [message #527816]

I have a resource set that includes hundreds of resources. I would like to persist all of the Resources in a zip file for many of the same reason that Java uses jar files to manage class files.

Is this supported directly by EMF or would I need to implement it myself?

Thanks,

GB

Greg,

EMF supports URI-based access to zip files. E.g., you could specify
URIs like archive:platform:/resource/project/archive.zip!/a/b/C.xml and
archive:platform:/resource/project/archive.zip!/a/b/D.xml to load/save
resources from/into an archive.
