extractKMLFromArchive

public static Document extractKMLFromArchive(File file)
                                      throws IOException,
SAXException

Extracts the contents of the given ZIP archive and parses the first root-level KML document found within it. The main KML document is conventionally named doc.kml but this is not required; the .kml extension is expected, however.

Parameters:

file - A File object that presumably represents a KMZ file (ZIP archive).

Returns:

A KML document, or null if a root-level KML file could not be found in the archive.

Throws:

IOException - The file was not a valid ZIP archive or some other I/O error occurred.

SAXException - If a KML document was found but it is not well-formed.
