Summary: Get rid of the code under native/java/util/zip
Product: IcedTea
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: IcedTea
AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
ReportedBy: adam at spicenitz.org
Looks like openjdk is shipping a private (and old) copy of zlib.
First, there should not be a private zlib in java.
Second, java.util.zip shouldn't even be native. Java is fast enough these days
to implement this directly, and zlib has a history of buffer overflows, etc.
Classpath seems to have a pure Java implementation. Can it be used?
Worst case, at least link against system zlib.
