	1. import content from a password-protected zip (for Example startupsrc.zip from the eclipse-vame-0.011release
	2. files are all created but empty. error message is not very helpful
NOTES:

EG (11/13/00 2:42:00 PM)
	zip importer is owned by the desktop

SA (4/10/2001 2:34:28 PM)
	This is still a problem. The actual error message when reading from
	the zip file is "java.util.zip.ZipException: too many length or distance symbols"
	which does not give any information to the real problem. There does not
	seem to be any api on ZipFile and ZipEntry to query whether the zip
	file is password protected or not.

SA (5/1/2001 4:40:50 PM)
	About the only way we can handle this is if we implement our own zip file reader.
	We would need access to the zip file format doc... The other solution is to update
	the error message we display with some possible reasons (blah blah blah...make
	sure the zip file exist, none of the files in are password protected, etc)

	Moving to Features folder

Deferring until development resources become available to consider this 
enhancement.

Reopened for investigation
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-29 14:10:23 EDT
in 20020827 you now get an individual "could not read source" error for every 
file.
