A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
We have
    InputStream getInputStream(ZipEntry entry)
in class ZipFile, but not
    Channel getChannel(ZipEntry entry)



JUSTIFICATION :
All the good reasons, we have for the java.nio package as a whole, especially performance gain.
Needed to implement Class#getChannel().

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Connect to a JNI-accessed direct ByteBuffer.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Channels.getChannel(zipFile.getInputStream(ZipEntry entry));
... but this channel is very slow, because of underlying BufferedInputStream.
