CAB PARSER

Provides a means to parse and extract data from Microsoft CAB files, from Java.

Specifically, this project was created to extract files from within a .cab which are compressed via the LZX compression algorithm.

Microsoft CAB file format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb417343.aspx

  • This is for cross-platform use, specifically - linux 32/64, mac 32/64, and windows 32/64. Java 6+

We now release to maven!

There is a hard dependency in the POM file for the utilities library, which is an extremely small subset of a much larger library; including only what is necessary for this particular project to function.

This project is kept in sync with the utilities library, so "jar hell" is not an issue. Please note that the util library (in it's entirety) is not added since there are many dependencies that are not necessary for this project. No reason to require a massive amount of dependencies for one or two classes/methods.
