A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
java.util.zip.ZipFile throws an NPE when processing the following jar file:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/seleniumhq/selenium/selenium-java/3.4.0/selenium-java-3.4.0-javadoc.jar

Using the Linux tool "unzip" shows the following:

$ unzip -v selenium-java-3.4.0-javadoc.jar
Archive:  selenium-java-3.4.0-javadoc.jar
 Length   Method    Size  Cmpr    Date    Time   CRC-32   Name

       0                0   0%                            1 file

java.util.zip.ZipFile shows:

$ jar tf selenium-java-3.4.0-javadoc.jar
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.getZipEntry(ZipFile.java:566)

        at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:1288)

If this is a badly formatted jar file, I'd at least expect the ZipFile class to throw a checked Exception, ie. IOException or something that relates to bad jar file format.

Because of the unspecific NPE Eclipse is currently throwing unhandled errors.
