[VFS][PATCH] Jar provider

[Brian Olsen <br...@mmmanager.org>]

The jar provider is finally finished.
It uses the getAttribute and getCertificates methods that came with the class loader patch but in that patch returned null.

The jar provider is the first to implement these features but there is nothing preventing any file system from supporting features that were previously reserved for jars.
If the file system supports file signing, or the file system supports attributes like "Sealed" or "Specification-Title" the class loader will use these features.

The provider does not have unit tests for signed jars at the moment, but both class loader and jar provider should support these.

Have fun!
