This is a tough one. Enums have clear advantages but it isn't always 
clear if it is the right thing (from a consistency point of view) when 
updating APIs that date from before enums. In this case it probably 
isn't too bad in that many applications use DeflaterOutputStream rather 
than using Deflater directly.

I wasn't aware of any compatibility issues with WinZip (Sherman, do 
might know about this?). The main motive, as you probably know, was the 
compressed network stream rather than zip files.
