The general approach seems okay and consistent with the agreement on how 
to reveal host names in socket exceptions.

The name of the security/system property will need discussion as 
"jdk.includeInExceptions" is very general. If we have something general 
then we'll need a good name and replace the existing 
jdk.net.includeInExceptions. It might be better to go with something 
specific for the area such as "jdk.util.jar.includeInExceptions=jarpath" 
(to be consistent with other jdk.* properties in this code). A CSR will 
be needed for this too as the property will be documented in the 
java.security file.

As regards the patch then it mostly looks okay but I think the changes 
in Attributes will need cleanup to get it consistent (esp. the line 
lengths) with the existing code.
