Alan thoughts?
Yeah, the jar tool does the right thing and writes directories entries
with the STORED method and a size of 0.
Eirik's mail mentions that 7% of Spring Petclinic dependences are
directories. It might be interesting to dig into that to see how they
are generated, is it mostly maven-jar-plugin and if so, which APIs is it
using?
Changing ZOS.putNextEntry to ignore the method/size provided by the
caller would change long standing behavior, and Hyrum's Law has it that
somebody will notice. This may be something for an API note rather than
an implementation change.
