RELEASE NOTES:

core-libs/java.util.jar:

    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` and the
      `-k` options to be used in preventing the overwriting of existing files.
      
      *Examples:*
      
      `jar xkf foo.jar`
      
      or
      
      `jar --extract --keep-old-files --file foo.jar`
      
      Either of these commands will extract the contents of `foo.jar`. If an entry with the same
      name already exists in the target directory, then the existing file will not be overwritten.
      
      For more details, see the [jar
      command](https://docs-uat.us.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/specs/man/jar.html) man page.
