It looks like the libzip symbol privatization problem that usually
plagued jdk15 users. Two patches fixing this have been posted to this
list (check the archives) and one of them has been committed to the
latest jdk15 port. You could try using jdk15 and see if it works for
you, or port the aforementioned fixes to jdk14.
