If we revert the change to URLClassPath, then we can’t read multi-release jars referenced by the “jar:{file,http}:/some/path/mr.jar!/“ form of a URL.  These jars would be treated as non-versioned.  That would mean that a jar referenced by the URL jar:file:/some/path/mr.jar!/ and one referenced by the URL file:/some/path/mr.jar could supply different classes for the same requested entry.  Is that what we want?
