Re: ZipInputStream does not read comments

how is this not a bug?

The comments for all files are stored in the index structure at the end of the stream, so there's no way to retrieve them until the end of the stream is reached. The zip file format just isn't that well suited to stream processing.


Excellent answer. So then is the *bug* is not documenting this fact in the API docs? (I just now glanced thru the ZipInputStream API and didn't see it documented there.)

I would suggest a note in the getNextEntry() method: "Note: ZipEntries returned by this method will not contain comments." Or somesuch.
