Does ctags support zip or jar file?

Does ctags support zip or jar file?
I want to use ctags in vim for java programming.
Therefore, I hope ctags will look for java file in jar.

I do not want to unpack the jar, which will be difficult to manage the file.

In the tag database that ctags creates, it must reference the indexed file relative to the tag database. Since there is no general designation for referring to contents inside a ZIP file (which may be accidentally described as /path/to/archive.zip:dirs/inside/file.txt), since this is a separate file system in a regular file system, this is not possible. You must unzip the JAR files.
