How to unpack jdeveloper multi spanned zip files in Linux

After downloading JDeveloper 12 for linux  from https://edelivery.oracle.com we have two files in multipart (spanned) zip format, e.g. V779124-01_1of2.zip and V779124-01_2of2.zip .

The first fioile is exactly 2 GB, but cannot unzip using linux unzip.

>unzip  V779124-01*.zip

Archive:  V779124-01_1of2.zip

  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not

  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the

  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

  the last disk(s) of this archive.

After some investigation I found out that the best workaround is to use jar in stead of unzip:

Create an empty directory and copy the zipfiles as the user that wiull do the installation

jar xvf V779124-01_1of2.zip

then extract the second zip in that same directory using unzip, jar or whatever tool
