Sorry for the mishap; my code was meant to use
Collections.singletonMap("create", "true"). For "kicks" I tried to
replace it with boolean true instead, but it appears that this didn't
work either... And I forgot to change it back :/

Now, granted, I know that historically, the zip filesystem was only
meant to be there as a POC for JSR 203 and not meant for final
inclusion but now it is; and I loved this so I played with it:
https://github.com/fge/java7-fs-ftp,
https://github.com/java7-fs-dropbox and others as well.

Still, "walking" archives using JSR 203 is great, and zip being there,
although "unspecified", if it were solid enough for daily use, that
would be a great demonstration of what JSR 203 is really capable of.

I already went as far as this:

(sorry for the very poor quality of the video)

But if the zip implementation were, well, solid enough... That would
be a great asset, imho.
