URL.getContent() is shorthand for URL.openConnection().getContent().
It creates an InputStream that isn't explicitly closed. This means
that a file handle remains open until the URLConnection is garbage
collected. This can lead to the process exceeding the limit for open
files.
Previously, LaunchedURLClassLoader was using getConent() when
proactively defining a package for a class that is about to be loaded.
getContent() was used to access nested jar files to check if they
contained the package and, if so, to retrieve the jar's manifest.
In place of using getContent(), this commit uses JarURLConnection's
getJarFile() method which provides access to the JarFile without the
unwanted side-effect of opening an input stream.

Previously, RandomAccessDataFile used a semaphore and acquired it
interruptibly. This meant that an interrupted thread was unable to
access the file. Notably, this would prevent LaunchedURLClassLoader from
loading classes or resources on an interrupted thread.
The previous commit (937f857) updates RandomAccessDataFile to acquire
the semaphore uninterruptibly. This commit adds a test to
LaunchedURLClassLoader to verify that it can now load a resource from
an interrupted thread.
Closes gh-6683
This commit improves the performance of JarURLConnection. There are two
main changes:
Firstly, the way in which the spec is determined has been changed so
that it’s no longer necessary to create an absolute file. Instead,
the JarFile’s pathFromRoot is used to extract the spec from the URL
relative to the JarFile.
Secondly, the number of temporary Objects that are created has been
reduced, for example by tracking an index as we process a String
rather than creating a new substring for each iteration.
See gh-6215
JarURLConnection is very performance sensitive. The change in 3772d9f
meant that every JarURLConnection would create a FilePermission,
irrespective of whether it was actually used.
This commit updates JarURLConnection to create its FilePermission
lazily. When there is no security manager a permission will no longer
be created at all.
Closes gh-5411

Previously, JarURLConnection assumed that that URL with which it was
created would contain the absolute path of the underlying jar file.
This meant that when it was created with a relative URL, it could fail
to find an entry or throw a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
This commit updates the logic for normalizing the input URL so that
both absolute and relative URLs are supported.
Closes gh-6109
Previously, JarURLConnection didn't override getPermission(). This
meant that it required all permissions. This was at odds with the
Oracle JVM's concrete sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection which
overrides getPermission to return a FilePermission with the read
action for the path of the underlying jar.
This commit updates our JarURLConnection to align its behaviour with
sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection.
Closes gh-5411
Using a separate thread to call the application's main method is
unnecessary – the context class loader of the current thread can be
updated instead – and makes exception and exit code handling more
complicated than it needs to be.
This commit updates the Launcher so that it calls the main method
runner using the current (main) thread. As a result, any exception
that's thrown will be caught by the JVM and result in a non-zero exit
code being returned from the process.
Closes gh-5922
Update CentralDirectoryParser to reduce the number of objects created
when parsing the central directory. A single CentralDirectoryFileHeader
object is now reused as entries are parsed.

Previously, the CLI would always use the class loader to try to locate
a source file. This was contrary to the SourceOptions javadoc which
states that the class loader is “used to try and load files that are
not found in the local filesystem”. This provide to be problematic on
Windows when a fully-qualified source file was supplied. The driver
letter colon slash (e.g. c:/) at the start of the path is considered
invalid for a class path resource by URLClassPath.Loader resulting in an
IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
A workaround for this URLClassPath behaviour was added in a71c9b5d. It
was removed as part of reworking LaunchedURLClassLoader to use a
conventional delegation model in 87fe0b2a. It was then reinstated in
cc140b2c. This work around is undesirable as it causes
LaunchedURLClassLoader’s behaviour to diverge from URLClassLoader’s
behaviour (this is contrary to the comments in the test added in
a71c9b5d which incorrectly tests the two class loader with different
class paths. If the two class loaders are created with the same class
path then their behaviour is the same).
This commit updates SourceOptions to make its behaviour match its
javadoc so that a search of the class path is only performed if the
filename doesn’t exist on the filesystem. Furthermore, when running on
Windows, if the filename is an absolute path no further searching is
performed as the path cannot reliably be used to search the class path
due to the behaviour of URLClassPath.Loader when given a path that
is an absolute file path on Windows. This ensures that the user is
presented with an error message indicating that the file could not be
found.
Closes gh-5650
Previously, JarURLConnection would fail when created with a URL that
began with jar:file:// as the double-slash is not included in jarFile.getUrl().getFile().
This commit updates JarURLConnection to normalise the value return from
url.getFile() to remove a double-slash when present.
Fixes gh-5287
Closes gh-5289
Previously, JarLauncher considered any entry whose name began with
BOOT-INF/classes/ as being a nested entry. This was incorrect as it
meant that subdirectories of BOOT-INF/classes/ would be added to the
classpath rather than just BOOT-INF/classes/ itself.
This commit updates JarLauncher so that only directory entries with a
name equal to BOOT-INF/classes are used.
Closes gh-5610
Previously, if a JarFile was created from a directory nested inside
another jar file, it would look for the manifest in
pathFromRoot/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. This is incorrect as, unlike a
JarFile created from a jar file, the archives are one and the same
so the manifests should be too.
This commit updates JarFile so that its aware of how it was created
(direct from a file, from a nested directory, from a nested jar). If
it was created from a file or from a nested jar, it uses its manifest.
If it was created from a nested directory, it uses the manifest of the
root archive.
Closes gh-5609
Previously, if loader.path directly specified a jar file that contained
nested archives (.zip or .jar), launching would fail unless those
nested archives were uncompressed. However, if loader.path specified a
directory that contained such a jar file the launch would succeed. This
was because the nested archives within the jar were ignored.
This commit updates PropertiesLauncher so that its behaviour in the
scenarios described above is consistent by not looking for archives
nested with a jar that’s be specified on loader.path. The javadoc for
loader.path has also been updated to make it clear that loader.path
can points to directories or jar files, bringing it into line with
the reference guide.
Closes gh-3701
