Build is broken: ZipException in JDK 21 due to jcom.jar

[Noreaster76]

1. Checked out latest master branch.
2. Executed the following step to build, per the README, and got the following result:

➜  autoredistrict git:(master) javac -encoding UTF-8 -d bin -cp 'src:jcom.jar' src/ui/Applet.java
src/ui/Applet.java:1: error: cannot access ui
package ui;
^
  ZipException opening "jcom.jar": ZIP file can't be opened as a file system because entry "/../manifest.mf" has a '.' or '..' element in its name
1 error
printing javac parameters to: /Users/gabe/Programming/autoredistrict/javac.20231020_154033.args
➜  autoredistrict git:(master) ✗

Using the latest stable release of the JDK:

➜  autoredistrict git:(master) ✗ javac --version
javac 21.0.1

StackOverflow says to re-zip the JAR, but opening it with Archive Utility yields a .cpgz file (?) and you can't open it from the Terminal, either:

It looks like this JAR is super old, like from 2007 or so. Is it possible to replace it with something more up to date?

.jar are compressed in pkzip format. so you can just rename the file extension to .zip and then you can extract the contents.

then just re-zip and rename to .jar again

jcom is for interacting with ms excel or ms word via "component object model" (COM) not sure of its needed.

Does anyone have a Windows machine? We could test whether any MS Office functionality breaks when the JAR is removed.

[happyjack27]

In order to even know what to test, you"d first have to search for references to it in the code. And then if you don't find any or the other ones you find can easily be removed, then you're done.

Also doesn't work at the command prompt. I'm going to investigate removing the JAR altogether.
