src/jdk.zipfs/share/classes/module-info.java line 277:

This line is slightly confusing. Initially I thought `read-write` and `read-only` are the actual values that this environment property will accept. But further review suggests that the actual literals supported are `readOnly` and `readWrite` and this line here I think is trying to explain the supported semantics of the file system.

Perhaps we could reword this to something like:

>
> A value defining the desired access mode of the file system. A ZIP file system can be created to allow for read-write access or read-only access.
