RELEASE NOTES

core-libs/java.util.jar

Issue Description
JDK-8335912

New jar command option to not overwrite existing files


The jar tool's extract operation has been enhanced to allow the --keep-old-files or the -k options to be used to preventing overwriting existing files.

Example Usages:

jar xkf foo.jar

or

jar --extract --keep-old-files --file foo.jar

Either of these commands will extract the foo.jar, and if an entry with the same name already exist in the target directory, then the existing file will not be overwritten.
