fyi,
The proposed[1] changes to FileInputStream and FileOutputStream remove
the finalize method
exposing Object.finalize (throws Throwable) to subclasses. We may need
retain
the finalize methods (with empty bodies) to mitigate source compatibility.

Hi Sherman,
I looked into ZipFile as promised.
One thing I noticed is that FinalizeZipFile.java test fails compilation:
test/jdk/java/util/zip/ZipFile/FinalizeZipFile.java:49: error:
unreported exception Throwable; must be caught or declared to be thrown
super.finalize();
^
(the overridden finalize() in InstrumentedZipFile should now declare
throws Throwable, since it overrides Object.finalize() and not
ZipFile.finalize() which is gone).
Yes, it's the expected source incompatibility issue specified in the
CSR request.
I think I had it changed somewhere but obviously it's not in the
webrev. Thanks
for catching it. Yes, the test needs to update to be catch the throwable.
Will return to the other comments later.
Thanks!
