So I'm working in an AIX environment, where the unzip command isn't available in /usr/bin, and the AIX Toolkit version isn't installed in /opt/freeware/bin.
So how do I unzip a file ?
The answer ?
Use Java :-)
AIX UnZip
By default, AIX does have an option to unzip .zip files, it's just a little bit hidden. Normally one would use 'unzip' but that's not available by default. You can install it as a rpm, but that's not necessary. Java is installed by default and is also capable of unzipping .zip files, with these simple steps:
That's all!

• Add the java utilities directory to your path
• Unzip the file using jar
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java5/bin
jar -xvf zipfile.zip
That's all!
