Migrating to JMPQ3?

JMPQ3 is a small java library for accessing and modifying mpq (MoPaQ) archives.

Currently, none of the new C/C++ repos on github provides the write ability to write files into mpq.
Some out of dated repos could write but I don't think it could even works with early stage SC2 mpq.

I never wrote in Java and I have no Java IDE, but I could have a try with my classmate's computer, but it may take some times.

If JMPQ3 doesn't works with Heroes MPQ, I might work on StormLib this summer and ....... Even rewrite the tools in C# , maybe?

JMPQ3 currently does not support file compressions beyond wc3's mpq, so it shouldn't be able to to read sc2/heroes files (created by the SC2Editor for example). Without those compressions, the files become huge.

It is possible to replace MpqEditor via StormLib.dll files and some wrappers to directly access the functions within. This repo seems promising: https://github.com/Deaod/JStormLib
But it did not contain StormLib.dll files and I somehow failed to create those with StormLib in Visual Studio 2015.
