Description
To shorten or simplify the `jar` command, you can provide an arg file that lists the files to include in the JAR file and pass it to the `jar` command with the at sign (`@`) as a prefix.  Example as below,

`jar --create --file my.jar @classes.list`

If one or more entries in the arg file cannot be found then the jar command fails without creating the JAR file.
Comments
Right, there is observable change so we decided not to add a release note for this.

There is no change for the behavior. RN label was removed for this fix.
