[7u] Request for review and approval/backport: 7183373: URLClassloader.close() does not close JAR files loaded via getResource()

[Alan Bateman]

This is an area where issues (performance for example) have tended to 
show up with real world usage. For that reason, I wonder if it would be 
safer to wait a bit (a few weeks away) to see if issues emerge.  At it 
stands, the jdk8 fix hasn't even got to a promoted build so it probably 
hasn't had much testing yet.  (BTW: I'm not against this being 
back-ported, just concerned about back porting changes in areas that has 
an established history of biting back).

-Alan.
