Jochen Hoenicke has made a CNI to JNI conversion that can be found at
<http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~delwi/classpath/JCL/>
We could check that in to Classpath as a temporary solution.
I have been adding Javadoc to the java.util.zip java files from
libgcj but have not yet checked that in the libgcj tree.
(It is not completely finished.) There is now also a java.util.jar
implementation in Classpath. But it does not contain a jar file/Manifest
verifier yet.

If you could look at the current libgcj implementation, Jopchen his native
code conversion and the jar implementation of Classpath and compare that
to what you have that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark
