For windows 7zip is my absolute favorite. If i could get a 7zip GUI port for Linux i would be a very happy camper.

If you're using Windows, might as well use the built in zip tools  (pretty much every version since XP? has them)

quick and dirty, java's jar is a zip format, so you can jar things up and they're in zip that most windows understands.  the question i guess is what zip on windows are you using.

I like 7-zip personally. Not only does it support the command line, but there are also GUI clients. Install details at www.7-zip.org

I'm looking to get a job and one of the things they want is for us to be able to zip files before we send them. Now there is tar and all of those zip abilities but there windows centric so I zeed a windows zip thing. Is there a linux utility to do this  or else what do you think I can do? I'll be compressing photos (if it makes a difference).
After a little looking into this myself I found a discussion which says merely use 'zip -k'. Is there a better way to do this?
