Please unfix.

For a couple of releases, javap has accepted arbitrary URLs, with an 
example of a jar: URL being given in javap.properties.

Here's the fragment of code from JavapTask:


         // see if it is a URL, and if so, wrap it in just enough of a 
JavaFileObject
         // to suit javap's needs
         if (className.matches("^[A-Za-z]+:.*")) {
             try {
                 final URI uri = new URI(className);
                 final URL url = uri.toURL();
                 final URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
