The "-n" options seems okay but I wonder if there has any thought given 
to having an option on jarsigner to normalize it before signing?

On the patch itself then I think it needs to be cleaned up before 
pushing it. From a quick look:

- It's using a raw type for the packer properties, should be Map<String, 
String>
- Is any reason not to use try-with-resources?
- I assume the catching of Exception in createTemporaryFile should be 
IOException|SecurityException
- Is the @test tag in the test right?
- The test appears to extract jfr.jar but I don't think we can assume 
this exists
- Some of the jar tests use sun.tools.jar.Main and this might be useful here

One other thing, Mathias's mail to jdk8-dev [1] asks for changes that 
require translation to be in the master no longer than 10/24. Does the 
update to jar.properties count?
