Hi Gerd,

sounds good. I've commited it.

Did you ever measure how long it takes to instantiate a ZipFile? Each time a bnd file is loaded the ZipFile is instantiated. If that takes too long it might be better to instantiate it once and then reuse it.

I did not measure it, but it seems to be very fast, because in I don't see it in the profiling tools that I use. Afaik it is memory mapped, so maybe the very first access is much slower. Gerd
