After playing a bit more with the whole thing, it turns out that there
is an IOException thrown when bytes are read from
java.util.zip.ZipFile$1 (I'm guessing 1 is an internal class in ZipFile
which is actually an InputStream - do I see JDK people giving a nod?).
The ZipFile object is brand new after jar gets refreshed and yet it
seems to be reading something totally bogus data.
One other somewhat interesting observation: if the jar grows, the class
file cannot be found. If it shrinks, class is found but properties files
packed in there are not. Really amusing...
Anyone knows alternatives to java.util.zip/java.util.jar that come
without those 'features'?
