76 * specified to call the {@code end} method to close the {@code 
deflater} and s/deflater/Deflater

80 * The recommended cleanup for compressor is to explicitly call {@code 
end}
81 * method when it is no longer in use. Existing subclasses of {@code 
Deflater}
82 * that override {@code end} and require {@code end} to be invoked 
when the
83 * instance is unreachable should explicitly override {@link 
Object#finalize}
84 * and call {@code end}.

I suggest not to recommend "explicitly override Object.finalize" (in 
fact, we should discourage it) and the overridden end method should be 
called explicitly.  This was what I suggested in the previous mail:||

s/inflater/Inflater

FinalizeZipFile.zip (I have mentioned this in the other mail):

I suggest to update InstrumentedZipFile to migrate away from the 
finalizer.   I can override the close method instead of the finalize 
method.   It can test explicitly calling close (that's what the test is 
currently doing) and try-with-resource.

TestCleaner.java
  130                 throw new RuntimeException("'ZipFile.Source.zfile' is not accesible");
