Hi,

Please help review this changeset to upgrade the zip filesystem provider implementation from demo to a supported provider. Back in JDK7 we created a demo file system provider for zip/jar files. It is shipped in two forms, one as a binary under lib/ext that works "out of the box" to support zip/jar file access as a nio filesystem, the second is source form with a BSD license. We are now proposing to drop it as a demo and instead just "release" it as a filesystem provider that shipped with the JDK. issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8038500 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8038500/webrev This looks good.

Mandy makes a good point about that only com.sun.nio.zipfs.ZipFileSystemProvider needs to be public. That might avoid having to put com.sun.nio.zipfs on the restricted package list too.

On basic.sh then this was originally needed in order to ensure that zipfs.jar was on the class path. Since it in the ext directory then it is not needed so Mandy's point about just moving the @test to the individual tests is good.
