Description
The package for TAR that is used in BASE (http://www.trustice.com/java/tar/) doesn't support long file names (>100 characters). This will result in truncated filenames if the TAR archive is unpacked on the BASE server.
Apache is working on a new package: http://commons.apache.org/sandbox/compress/ It is based on the old code, but has not yet been released. When Apache releases the package it might be a good idea to upgrade BASE to use it. The package also seems to provide support for the BZIP2 format, so we may also replace the current package for BZIP2 with the new package.

A compiled JAR with the commons compress code can be found at: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-compress/commons-compress
It's not very recent and it seems like development has stalled. In any case, the code builds on the trustice code and is more recent than what we currently use. We may at least try it out.

It seems like commons-compress is not making any progress at all. I'll fix this with wrappers in the current implementation.
