I had the same problem on my Mac. My windows dev machine (client at work :-/) is too slow to run GateIN and eclipse so I installed GateIN on my Macbooc Pro and let eclipse copy the ear to it when built. I saw on the console: exception in the zip.

So I decided to investigate if I could perhaps open the archive using Stuffit Manager.
