I think we need to rollback some of the changes that we done in 
JDK-6805750 so that we don't have non-standard attributes in the map. We 
shouldn't be hard coding names such as Ant-Version or Bnd-LastModified 
for example.

For the current webrev then I'm concerned it is brings back legacy 
attributes. The concept of "installed optional packages" was removed in 
Java SE 9, as was the ability for JAR packaged applets to trigger 
downloading of optional packages. I don't think the later was ever 
implemented in the JDK so surprising that we are finding JAR files with 
those attributes now. If we can prune that down then I think the changes 
will be okay.
