We could preserve precision by shifting the remaining milliseconds into the dostime field,

After I went through more extensive testing and verification I realized that narrowing dostime to an int and breaking this remainder hack out into a separate field would be possible without affecting ZipEntry footprint; arguably cleaner, but if this version is
acceptable I would prefer not to.

Going this way preserves precision across the entire input range of setTime, thus all tests I could find pass with this version; I've also expanded the TestExtraTime test to test both far ancient, far future and near future times to verify precision is preserved.

I backpedaled on the getLastModifiedTime optimization to set the mtime field that Peter suggested since it would have the side-effect that the extra time field would be written
after a call to this getter, which would be a bit too unexpected.

Thanks!

Hi Claes,

I like the backwards-compatible extended DOS time format idea. If you keep it as one field, you could move the code for conversion from millisecond Java time to/from extended DOS time format to the ZipUtils methods entirely (javaToXdosTime, xdosToJavaTime) to make logic in ZipEntry simpler. I would call the field 'xdostime' then to hint the reader about the format which would be nice if it was described in a javadoc on the field.

Regards, Peter
