This should be fine if the code that uses it is in its own
library/JAR/plugin and therefore is completely optional.

Chris, did the Plexus Archiver come into Eclipse as part of the Maven
stuff that came in? It may already be in Orbit.

plexus archiver 2.2 is available:

https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6821

commons compress 1.3 is available:

https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6258

commons compress 1.3 is approved but I couldn't find it in any Orbit build.

Or do I miss something ?
