Hi Jaikiran,

Yes I believe this makes sense.

It would also require a CSR.

I can login a bug if you do not have access to do so.

The javadoc of InputStream#readAllBytes() states[1] that it reads all the 
remaining bytes of the stream. The java.util.zip.ZipInputStream doesn't 
override this method and thus "inherits" this javadoc. The implementation of 
InputStream#readAllBytes() ultimately ends up calling ZipInputStream#read()[2], 
so the implementation correctly reads only till the end of the current ZipEntry 
and not the entire ZipInputStream. However, because the javadoc gets inherited, 
reading any code like the following doesn't make it clear that it's only 
reading till the end of the current entry:

zis = ... // ZipInputStream
while ((e = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
    String name = e.getName();
    zis.readAllBytes(); // gives an impression that all bytes of the stream are 
read
    ...
}

Should the ZipInputStream override the readAllBytes(), just so as to add a very 
specific javadoc to this method which explains that it reads only till the end 
of current entry and other related semantics? Perhaps the same should be done 
for ZipInputStream#readNBytes(...)?
