On a corpus search, found
org.eclipse.jdt.core/search/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/core/search/indexing/AddJarFileToIndex.java references ZipError (16 usages)

sbt/internal/inc/zip/ZipCentralDir.java referenced ZipError(was based off an old copy of ZipFS I believe), the file does not seem to be part of the GitHub repository and there are 5 usages

com/aoapps/lang/Throwables.class  and com/aoindustries/lang/Throwables.class (clone of each other I believe) 

com/android/tools/apk/analyzer/internal/ArchiveManagerImpl. ( 1 usage)


So would be good to also alert those projects if possible
