I have a Java program which searches for a folder with the date of yesterday and compresses it to a 7zip file and deletes it at the end. Now I have noticed that the generated 7zip archive files by my program are way too big. When I use a program like 7-Zip File Manager to compress my files it generates an archive which is 5 kb big while my program generates an archive which is 737 kb big for the same files (which have a 873 kb size). Now I am afraid that my program does not compress it to a 7zip file but do a usual zip file. Is there a way to change something in my code so that it generates a smaller 7zip file like 7-Zip File Manager would do it?

I am using the Apache Commons Compress library
EDIT: Here is a link where I have some of the Apache Commons Compress code from.
