java.util.zip.ZipError: invalid CEN header (bad signature)

Question

I\'m using Java 1.7.0_40 on Red Hat Linux and I have the following code:

Path zipfile = Paths.get(filename);
FileSystem fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(zipfil         


        

Answer 1

There are two possible explanations:

• You have a corrupted ZIP file - Compile error in maven2: "invalid CEN header (bad signature)"

• It is something to do with ZIP-64:

  • java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid CEN header (bad signature)

  • But also note that ZIP-64 support was only added in 1.7.0_b55; see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4681995
