The jar specification says that these filenames are case-insensitive, so a file named "*.rsa" should also be treated as a signature file.

Good.

In 9, there is a new code change (8030851: Update code in java.util to use newer language features)

@@ -356,8 +356,8 @@
         try {
             String[] names = getMetaInfEntryNames();
             if (names != null) {
-                for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
-                    JarEntry e = getJarEntry(names[i]);

                     if (e == null) {
                         throw new JarException("corrupted jar file");
                     }

so all names[i] become name.

The fix makes sure only signature-related files are processed in the beginning so JarVerifier does not enter the second stage prematurely. Please note that JarInputStream always feeds JarVerifier by natural order so once a non-signatued-related file is processed it goes into verification stage and will not parse a signature anymore.

This will be a huge change to the JarVerifier class and IMHO does not really help much. Also I don’t want to consider it at this final time of JDK 8.
