Hi devs,

This looks like bad news for our VFS API (our replacement and generalization of 
the previous zipexplorer plugin).

We need to test if it still works in XWiki 8.1 (which requires java 8)…

So globally we’re in a bad shape with our choice of using TrueVFS because right 
now there are 2 important issues:
* Ability to set permissions, see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12912
* This potential java 8 issue

Thanks
-Vincent
