Java trouble

This may possibly be the most unhelpful error message I`ve encountered.

We`re trying to use a rather nice little UDF we found here

http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=997

It unzips things. It`s lovely. I assume it works for others.

But when we try to use it, I get this:
---------------
There was an error on the page (unZipDir).
Message: Object Instantiation Exception.
Detail: An exception occurred when instantiating a java object. The
cause of this exception was that: .
Type: Object
---------------

The cause of the exception was a full-stop - I love it!

The relevant lines in unZipDir.cfm look like this:
<cfscript>
unzipFile(toZip,zipPath);
</cfscript>

and that calls unzipfile.cfm, which contains this:

function unzipFile(zipFilePath, outputPath) {
......
zipFile = createObject("java", "java.util.zip.ZipFile");

My knowledge of Java is quite close to zero. Any guesses what I should
be looking for?

I`ve tried a Google search for that error message, and found people with
the same problem (like here
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=
69&threadid=1021397&enterthread=y ) but no solutions.

I`m running CFMX, recently patched up to 7. I assume Java is working
after a fashion, since CFMX relies on it these days, doesn`t it?
