      --------------------------------------------------------------
        java.util.zip and winzip32.exe can NOT operate zip-files including
        Japanese Path well. so-called garbled characters!! (UTF-8 vs MS932)
        Please resolve this too!!
      -----
        This is a kind of internationalization bug, too.
        Because most ZIP application encode/decode file entries in platform's
        native encoding, Java ZIP application isn't compatible with them.
        I recommend to add a charset parameter to ZIP-related methods.
      -----
        And the bug is still in the newest JDK1.4.
        We hope this problem can be resolved sooner.
      --------------------------------------------------------------

      Java2's java.util.zip cannot get files properly from a zipfile which is
      made with Winzip which is commonly-used zip/unzip software when Japanese
      name is included in the zipfile.
      This is very inconvenient for Japanese developers and users.
