There really is nothing in the docs about this. I am just using
a couple of programs to dump an example stream and then compare
the stream (the Zip file) that is generated by Kaffe and the JDK.
I have no idea why Sun is doing this but with this change the
part of the stream generated by Kaffe matches that of the JDK.
I could provide you with the files I am using the write and
compare generated the zip files if you want to test them yourself.
To be honest, I am really working in the dark here. Jar files
generated by my jar program work perfectly under the JDK but
they do not work under Kaffe, so I am aiming to "fix" the
problem but getting Kaffe to produce the exact same binary
data in it's Zip output. My testing showed that Kaffe always
produced a (byte) 0 for this data while the JDK would produce
(byte) 8 if the stream was compressed and (byte) 0 if it was not
compressed. The value of ZipConstants.DEFLATED is also (byte) 8
so it seemed like a natural conclusion.
