Notes on individual issues:
===========================

core-libs/java.util.jar:

JDK-8335912/JDK-8337499: Add an operation mode to the jar command when extracting to not overwriting existing files
===================================================================================================================
In previous OpenJDK releases, when the jar tool extracted files from
an archive, it would overwrite any existing files with the same name
in the target directory. With this release, a new option ('-k') may be
specified so that existing files are not overwritten.

The option may be specified as in the following example:

* jar xkf foo.jar

By default, the old behaviour remains in place and files will be
overwritten.

Happy hacking,
