show errors java source "ZipUtils"

This is my error
SQL> @createZip.java

Java dropped.


Warning: Java created with compilation errors.

Errors for JAVA SOURCE ZipUtils:

LINE/COL ERROR

Any ideas? Do I have to implement a procedure with an OUT parameter to pass ARRAY's or can I use a PL/SQL function wrapper with a java function call?
