It's a fair question to ask esp. WRT compatibility vs. fix.

Subject: [compress] JDK 9 b64 - interpretation of TimeZone in ZipEntry#getTime 
has changed? 

Hi

I'm not sure whether I should raise a bug or this is an intended change.

Apart from the bunzip2 problem - more on that in a separate mail - one
other Unit test fails in Commons Compress.  In our test we use a method
to "fix" the time read from a ZIP entry with the following comment:

    /**
     * InfoZIP seems to adjust the time stored inside the LFH and CD
     * to GMT when writing ZIPs while java.util.zip.ZipEntry thinks it
     * was in local time.
     *
     * The archive read in {@link #testSampleFile} has been created
     * with GMT-8 so we need to adjust for the difference.
     */

This no longer seems to be true and ZipEntry#getTime now also assumes
time to be in UTC.  Has this change been made intentionally?

Cheers

        Stefan
