Iris asked me off-list about the name space which makes me wonder if we 
should use the opportunity to move this to jdk.<something>. As it's a 
service provider then nothing should be accessing these classes 
directly. The only thing that comes to mind is 
ZipFileAttributeView/ZipFileAttributes where the API provides a 
type-safe means to access attributes. In the webrev then these are being 
changed to package-private so I think would break anyone that might be 
using them anyway.

The removal of basic.sh and the test tags added the tests looks okay.

-Alan.
