Hi, while investigating an Ant issue I recently had a look at how Harmony implements JarInputStream and friends.
If we wanted to enable the usual JarEntry fields on top of ZipArchiveInputStream we'd be forced to re-implement the whole verification process for signed jars that the class library can already do for us (in some hidden code we cannot re-use from the outside). The more I think about this, the more I believe we should make JarArchiveInputStream use the java.util.jar package rather than extend ZipArchiveInputStream - this would also mean we'd break the API of 1.0, though.
