Package eap.filter Description

Provides a general mechanism for filtering data streams based on the extensions on a filename. By default, the package can handle gzip decompression, and with the optional eap.crypto package (not documented here), it can also decrypt some PGP encrypted data.

The set of available filters is extensible without having to modify this package. See the Filter and FilterBroker classes for information on how to do this.
