>>> This changeset causes the URL returned from a ClassLoader.getResource(name) invocation to be reified, that is the URL is a direct pointer to either a versioned or unversioned entry in the jar file. The patch also assures that jar URL’s are always processed by the URLClassPath.JarLoader.  The MultiReleaseJarURLConnection test was enhanced to demonstrate that reified URLs are returned.  The SimpleHttpServer test helper class was moved into it’s own file.

I opened JDK-8155657 to track that.

The part of JarFile that knows all about versioning is a subclass of JarEntry, JarFileEntry.  JarEntry knows nothing about  versioning, nor about JarFileEntry.  Only JarFile knows about JarFileEntry.
