Exclude files from being zipped

[JarFiles]

Hey,
I wanted to know if it's possible to exclude files from being zipped.
For example:
ZipFile#addFolder adds all files and it's subdirectories to the zip file.
But there are a few files which I just don't want being added. I tried getting all files manually and then using ZipFile#addFiles but now all files end up being in the root directory of the zip file. Is there a way to keep the folder structure in the zip file?

Hi all, I have this problem too, I tried to find workaround and I prepared all files which I want to zip as ArrayList and executed ZipFile#addFiles, but my structure of directories was broken inside the zip file. I believe we can save structure and we can exclude some files or directories too.

@JarFiles Did you find any solution or workarounds?

I'll try to add it to the src and create a pull request later

PR merged. Issue to add tests created #189 . I will add tests before I release this feature.

I have added tests. And also, I made some changes to the PR which was merged:

• Renamed ExcludeFileHandler to ExcludeFileFilter
• Moved ExcludeFileFilter from ZipParameters to method argument in ZipFile.addFolder(), as this feature is only available when adding a folder to the zip file (See comment below)

Actually, after some more thoughts, I moved the filter back to ZipParameters, because as part of an upcoming feature in #84, it will be possible to add folders also with ZipFile.addFiles() method. In this case, it will be useful to have this filter in ZipParameters.
