Thanks for the update. JAR file verification is tricky and important not 
to attempt to run arbitrary code while doing that, esp. anything that 
might need to load a class or resource from the class path. So I think 
the approach (in v5) looks okay.  A minor nit in JarFile is that it 
should be "static final".  Also you might want to replace or change the 
@summary in both tests to make it clearer that the tests attempt to 
trigger class loading from the class loader during JAR file verification.
