java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid block type

Hi,


We are keep getting this exception when we use mac High Sierra OS. This comes irrespective of the java version. We tried 1.7 and few versions of 1.8 including the latest release. This only comes for all java versions in mac OS high sierra.

Hi getangar


The issue you pointed out seems to be introduced from 1.8 and fixed in the latest early release which is 1.8.0_162-ea. I tried this in the latest early release and still I am facing this issue with High Sierra. Also the same issue is fixed when I tried in linux with latest early java release. But this seems to be specific to high sierra. One of the other important facts is this neither works with java 1.7 with High Sierra. But this works fine in linux with java 1.7 as well. Hence there seem to be a OS specific reason for this behavior as well.
