JDK-6190121 - Jar is not usable for testing integrity of Jar files.
Description
The jar(1) command should have an option to validate and verify a JAR for
its robustness and correctness of the archive. For example unzip -t
on some Unix flavors offers this, once again unzip does not do a thorough
job. We should provide a more thorough validator.

EVALUATION Agreed. There should be an API equivalent (something like ZipFile.verify) and a command-line access using jar. Unfortunately, the obvious mnemonic letters "v" (verify, validate) "c" (check) "i" (integrity) "t" (test) are taken.
