The relative path name is also given as parameter. Also fecilitates with the feature of adding empty directory entries.

public static void unZIPWithPath(File aSourceZipFile, String aDestinationDir)
throws ZipException;

Unzips a zip file to the given directory structure as how the zipentry specifies. If a directory zip entry exists then a empty directory with the entry name is created.
public static final boolean packAndDeleteDirContents(File aZipFile, File
aDir, String aExtension, long aOlderThanMillis);
