Java has also a zip file system where appending is a simple call to Files.copy

| May 18, 2015 at 9:00 | comment | added | Tim Biegeleisen | I found the Java 7 library to be extremely cryptic and difficult to use. Yes, this would be the way to go if possible, but I could not find very good material online for this route either. | |

So do-it-yourself should well be within reach. Splitting exe part of zip part (if needed). | |
