Date: 2005-08-28 08:39 Sender: wmahan Logged In: YES user_id=613983 I also noticed this error, and I think it is caused by zipfile comments as the error message suggests. I have submitted patch 1275036, which fixes the problem for me.

It shows that a "^A^Z" (control-A,control-Z) sequence is appended to certain class names. This prevents most classloaders from finding the class. It appears to occur randomly (though there may be some system to it), so that the chance of rendering a class inaccessible is larger for larger jars.
