I think the whole zip file, Winrar thing was just an example from the OP. If I read his post correctly, he's trying to build a Windows Explorer clone, that's his main interest here. The whole issue of how to compress or uncompress files is a bit of a red herring. It's more of a general question about file types and actions.

The Java Desktop class allows you to Open, Print, Edit files with a bit more control than simply shelling out and trying to run the file. For example, you can test whether or not there is an Edit action associated with a file type as distinct from Open (think of *.cmd files on Windows: Open and Edit do different things). What it doesn't let you do is access non-standard options that other programs like Winrar may associate with specific file types like *.zip or *.rar, for example Extract Here as opposed to Extract.

The NetBeans Platform includes an API that allows you to associate arbitrary actions with file types, but it is up to you (the programmer) to create the association, it is not derived from the underlying operating system.
