Al

Sorry about that.  You are right, please accept my apologies.

Do you want to paste your full code, I want to give it a try and see what
happens.

Regards
Jase

Hmm, someone is obviously not reading my original post correctly!! :-(

I know how to use getComment(), the problem is that even when I don't
use this method at all the comments are getting dumped to stderr!
Perhaps I should clarify:

Even if my code is simply:

File file = "SomeFile.zip";
ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(file);

...I still get the following output on stderr:

  Allocating ZIP comments array
   Added ZIP comment "Test comment 1"
   Added ZIP comment "Test comment 2"
   Added ZIP comment "Test comment 3"

This is bizarre behaviour and is not down to incorrect use of the API!
It almost looks as if some debug code was left in the JVM implementation
(!).

Since zip file entries rarely have comments attached, you might never
see this behaviour, however, the zip files I am concerned with can use
comments for metadata...
