Description
Currently JarFile::getRealName has no access control modifier, making it a package-private method.  It's will soon be used in two places in JDK 9, so it's desirable to make the method public.
Comments
I should have said it might *not* be desirable to make this a public method since it's only used in two places in JDK 9 and there is a known way to invoke the method through the SharedSecrets mechanism.
