zip4j archive doesn't contain folders

Question

I'm creating a zipped archive with zip4j using the following method to add single files to the archive:

  zipParameters = new ZipParameters();
  zipParameters.setCompressionMethod(Zip4jConstants.COMP_DEFLATE);
  zipParameters.setCompressionLevel(Zip4jConstants.DEFLATE_LEVEL_ULTRA);
  zipFile = new ZipFile(fullQualifiedZipFile);
  ...
  zipFile.addFile(new File(fullQualilfiedPath), zipParameters);

Doing so, the resulting archive doesn't contain the folder structure. Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks in advance for any hint!

Kind regards,

Michael

Just if somebody is interested, I've found the solution. Before adding a file to the archive, method setRootFolderInZip must be called:

        zipParameters.setRootFolderInZip(folder);

This will lead to the desired result, that the folder structure will be preserved. You may want to adjust the folder. At least the root part should be removed.
