Hi Sherman,

The code changes look good to me,  I was thinking about the test and
here are some observations:

test/java/util/zip/TestExtraTime.java

a. you have TZ of Asia/Shanghai, I am wondering if it would help to add 
a TZ which
has DST for any DST computation issues that we might encounter.

Also perhaps a tests which zips a file in one TimeZone and test in another
TimeZone ?

If these are being addressed by SQE that is fine.

b. this test sets the default TimeZone, this could cause weird issues 
for other downstream
tests, specifically when jtreg runs in the samevm or agentvm mode, so 
either we run this test in a
discrete VM or   reset the TimeZone using a finally.

Thanks
Kumar
