Some nits while reading the changes:
1. ZipEntry.java
    a. typo:

+     * Sets the laste access time of the entry.


    b. extra space

+                case EXTID_ZIP64 :

2. ZipOutputStream.java
I think it would be nice to have the flags 0x1, 0x2 and 0x4 defined
as constants, this will also help a casual reader as to what this means.


Besides my previous concern with finish(), everything else appears to be ok.
