Do you know or have any examples on how to get
ZipOutputStream/ZipInputStream classes so it can
compress/uncompress without writing to a file, I
basically want to pass in a string so it gets compressed
by either using GZip or Zip, then I want to pass in the
compression string and uncompress it either by using GZip
or Zip?

There's an example of how to compress strings in my article "Using the Zip
Classes in the J# Class Libraries..."
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/06/ZipCompression/default.aspx).
The example is written in C#, but since the API is the same you should be
able to translate it to J# quickly.
Hope it helps,

...but there are lots of bugs in the j# zip collection in .net 1.0 and .net
1.1
Eg. look at the dates. Try to zip big files etc...

When compressing strings these shouldn't be an issue. All the bugs I've seen
are related to file & directory handling rather to the compression
algorithms themselves.
