JAVA ENHANCEMENT PROPOSALS (JEP): None. RELEASE NOTES: security-libs/java.security: JDK-8184993: 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. With this release, the name of the `ZipEntry` instance returned from `java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry()` always ends with '/' for any zip directory entry. 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 and has caused some WebStart applications to fail to load. See JDK-8184993 for more information.
