Actually, I think y'all should do 3 things: - backport Kumar's bug fix to jdk7 - introduce a system property to turn off the zip64 support. I am working on a patch to introduce such a system property. We will probably default to disabling zip64 by default, but you will probably find that unacceptable. But you can default the other way. - fix up some remaining largefile issues in parse_manifest I might contribute a bit of code here as well.
