A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
We have a file which needs to be unzip using java.util.zip.ZipFile.

It was created a class which would unzip it but when executing new ZipFile("myzip.zip) an exception is received :

Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid CEN header (bad compression method)

If I try to decompress the same file using "unzip" or "winzip" no errors occour but when using "jar" it also fails giving the following message:


java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid CEN header (bad compression method)
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:203)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:132)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:70)

It seems that this bug is connected to bug 4419591.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1 - First you will need to have my specific zip file which I can send you by mail

2- Run the code I've provided here.


ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid CEN header (bad compression method)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
