Just clone the nio/nio repository. There's a README in 
jdk/src/share/demo/nio/ZipFileSystem.

The URI syntax is defined by the provider and this demo provider uses 
hierarchical URIs with "zip" as the scheme. It wouldn't hard to wrap 
this provider with another that supports the legacy JAR URL syntax 
(although that syntax worries me in that it uses opaque URIs and will 
likely be a challenge if/when the platform is updated to support RFC 3986).
