Hi! The java.util.zip.ZipError class seems unused in OpenJDK. I assume this is legacy from the native ZIP implementation in Java 8.
This exception class extends InternalError and seems to have been added in Java 6 to help compatibility with existing code catching InternalError (JDK-4615343) This change also introduced the TestZipError test, which verified that ZipError was thrown while enumerating a ZIP file which was changed after being opened. The reimplementation of the ZIP implementation to Java (JDK-8145260) updated this test to expect a ZipException instead of the ZipError. Given that this class has now fallen out of use in OpenJDK, should we: 1: Deprecate it 2: Deprecate it for removal 3: Do nothing, keeping it around has a low cost 4: Something else It would also be useful if someone with access to a large code corpus could search for usages of this class so we could assess compatibility concerns of removing it. Thanks, Eirik.
