I wrote a Java code that sends files for compression using LzmaAlone.java.

Sending one file is not a problem, but for sending numerous files I need some confirmation that the previous file finished compressing. I also need to create a progress bar for each file being compressed... How can I do it?

Thanks!

  Compressor c = new Compressor();
            try {
                c.compress(original, newfile);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

.............

public void compress(String filename, String newPath) throws Exception {

        try {
            LzmaAlone.main(new String[]{ "e", filename, newPath});

        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw e;
        }
    }

I assume main() returns when it has finished. I would create a progress bar on a per file basis. – Peter Lawrey Jul 10 '12 at 12:36
main returns, but how does it help me? – Yossi Chen Jul 10 '12 at 12:41
and how can I create such a bar? thanks! – Yossi Chen Jul 10 '12 at 12:42
If you compress one file at a time, every time main() returns, you have compressed one more file. There are many, many ways of producing a progress bar. I suggest you look at examples on the web to determine which one you want. – Peter Lawrey Jul 10 '12 at 13:26
