Description

I think it would be useful if the ArchiveEntry interface had some methods for formatting the entry information as a String.

This could then be used to create an Archive scanner to list archive contents, for example.

There should probably be two methods:

toShortString() - shows name, type and size only.

toLongString() - shows all the details.
