Following up, please review the backward compatiblitiy support in:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/openjdk8/useZip64For64kEntries/ (ideally users would have even more control via the API, but I ain't gonna try to touch that) No objection to adding a knob for this but do we need changes for reading too? I'm just concerned that someone could use ZipOutputStream to create a zip or JAR file that is not readable (in the same VM).

On the property name then we've started using jdk.* for JDK-specific properties. Also as the default is to support ZIP64 when writing then maybe this should have a disable* name so someone can specify -Djdk.util.zip.disableZip64 on the command line without specifying a value.
