Changes
core-libs/java.util.jar
Java 8 Update 144 Build 2
java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() now always returns the ZipEntry instance with a / ended entry name for directory entry
The java.util.zip.ZipEntry API doc specifies 'A directory entry is defined to be one whose name ends with a /'. However, in previous JDK releases, java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry(String entryName) may return a ZipEntry instance with an entry name that does not end with / for an existing zip directory entry when
- the passed in argument entryName does not end with a /, and
- there is a matching zip directory entry with name entryName + / in the zip file.
Java 202 Download
With this release, the name of the ZipEntry instance returned from java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry() always ends with / for any zip directory entry.
Java 8 Update 144/162
To revert to the previous behavior, set the system property jdk.util.zip.ensureTrailingSlash to 'false'.
This change was made in order to fix a regression introduced in JDK 8u141 when verifying signed JARs that has caused some WebStart applications to fail to load.
Bug Fixes
This release also contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 8u144 Bug Fixes page.
Java technology allows you to work and play in a secure computing environment. Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms from embedded devices and mobile phones to enterprise servers and supercomputers. Upgrading to the latest Java version improves the security of your system, as older versions do not include the latest security updates.
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is what you get when you download Java software. The JRE consists of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java platform core classes, and supporting Java platform libraries. The JRE is the runtime portion of Java software, which is all you need to run it in your Web browser.
