I don't know the precise status of java.util.zip.

There is a zip implementation in libgcj you could use.  It relies on
native code, though.  Someone rewrote this code to use JNI a while
back but I don't know what happened with that.

Another choice is `jazzlib', which is a pure Java zlib
implementation.  I don't know the status of this either.

Either way, some work is required.  Lately I've been doing a fair
amount of merge work, but java.util.zip is pretty low on my list
(currently I'm working on java.text, but io, lang, security, and net
are all ahead of zip).
