Hi all

Please review the fix for https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8182117 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8182117> which addresses the need to document the Zip File System properties and is also  replacing the documentation that used to exist in the tech note: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/io/fsp/zipfilesystemprovider.html.

The updated documentation can be seen below followed by the diff of the changes.

Module jdk.zipfs

 <>Provides the implementation of the Zip file system provider. The Zip file system provider treats a Zip or JAR file as a file system providing the ability to manipulate the contents of the file.

Accessing a Zip File System

You can use the FileSystems <applewebdata://0B307EB5-DECC-44DF-8927-3891049153F4/java.base/java/nio/file/FileSystems.html> newFileSystem static factory methods to create a new Zip file system or to obtain a reference to an existing Zip file system.
URI Scheme Used to Identity the Zip File System

The URI scheme <applewebdata://0B307EB5-DECC-44DF-8927-3891049153F4/java.base/java/net/URI.html#getScheme()> that identifies the ZIP file system is jar.
Zip File System Properties

The following properties may be specified when creating a Zip file system:

Property Name	Data Type	Default Value	Description
create	java.lang.String	false	If the value is true, the Zip file system provider creates a new Zip or JAR file if it does not exist.
encoding	java.lang.String	UTF-8	The value indicates the encoding scheme for the names of the entries in the Zip or JAR file.
Examples:

Construct a new Zip file system that is identified by a URI. If the Zip file does not exist, it will be created:
 

     URI uri = URI.create("jar:file:/home/luckydog/tennisTeam.zip");
     Map<String, String> env = Map.of("create", "true");
     FileSystem zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env);
 
 
Construct a new Zip file system that is identified by specifying a path and using automatic file type detection. Iterate from the root of the JAR displaying each found entry:
 

     FileSystem zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(
            Paths.get("tennisteam.jar"), null);
     Files.walk(zipfs.getPath("/"))
            .forEach(System.out::println);
 
 
Since:
