I think you should say something about that this API can be used to sign 
JAR files. The fact that it is also used by jarsigner seems less 
important to mention in the package description. I suggest changing this to:

"This package contains the {@link jdk.security.jarsigner.JarSigner} API 
which can be used to sign jar files."
