FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_67"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
OSX Mavericks 10.9.4

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
not applicable

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
producing a zipped file from several files and directories works OK,
however, the call ZipEntry.setSize(long) is ignored for any value of size
(values strictly < 10 000 000)
unzipping or listing the zip file shows that all file sizes are -1.
Unzipping works OK, but any software that predicts the unzipped size fails.

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.7.0_67"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      ZipEntry entry;
      ZipOutputStream zipOutput;
...........
         zipOutput = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(temporaryFile));

               entry = new ZipEntry(s); // Zip name of the file
               entry.setSize(length); // from File.length()
               entry.setTime(f.lastModified());

               operation = "WRITING ZIP-ENTRY"; // To identify at IOException catch.
               zipOutput.putNextEntry(entry);


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
We expect 'length' to appear in a listing or zip-info of the zip-file.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
as above
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
"Drop all software that checks the uncompressed total size of the zipped files.

B.t.w.: on the internet I found that this bug was already there in JAVA 2.1 !!!
