Because with this contribution we add the notion of jar file plus line of manifest to Exceptions occurring when parsing jar manifests. And if there were further Exception details to be added in the area of jar files, they could go under a category "jarDetails" as well. Would you agree? Then, in Manifest.java, the field "jarPathInExceptionText" could be renamed to "detailedExceptions".

Or just "jar" would be my preference. I don't like "jarPath" as that 
sounds too much like a file pathname to me, which we have now removed.
