java.util.zip ZipFile("") problem

I've having a weird problem - (I'm using framwork 1.1)
I get a zipexception that doesn't mean much when trying to call:

ZipFile zf = new ZipFile( "file.zip" );

This file.zip was created fine by using:
new ZipOutputStream(new java.io.FileOutputStream("file.zip")).close();

If I call new ZipFile( "file.zip" ) on the new empty file, all works well.
BUT,
as soon as I add a file to the file.zip and then call new ZipFile(
"file.zip" ), I get an exception.

If I then go to winzip then look at the "file.zip" I have no problems
extracting a file etc.

Is this a bug in the java lib that comes with VS.NET 2003?

thanks - bill

Are you closing the Zip file after you add your files to it?

This seems to be a bug of the VJ# runtime. Under the topic "java.util.zip
problem" I posted a problematic Zip file which contains the file that Nestor
was using for his tests.
Any chance to get this solved soon?

This is a known issue in J# class library. It will be fixed possibly in
the next release of J#.
Work Around: Decompress your zip file and again compress it using winzip,
the new zip file should work.
Thanks for using J#.
