ZipPath getFileAttributeView doesn't comply with spec

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
ZipPath.java:716 (as of 9d305b9c0625d73c752724569dbb7f6c8e80931c) throws UnsupportedOperationException if getFileAttributeView is called on a ZipPath for an unrecognized or disabled attribute view. However the JavaDocs say File.getFileAttributeView should return null when a view is unsupported.

This means you can't check for a ZipFS that has POSIX attributes enabled by simply querying the view without also being prepared to catch this exception, which is unexpected.


CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Catch the exception and convert it to null.
