JDK1.3 javadoc for java.util.jar.JarFile.JarFile() states :
-------

JarFile

public JarFile(File file,
               boolean verify,
               int mode)
        throws IOException

     Creates a new JarFile to read from the specified File object in the
     specified mode. The mode argument must be either OPEN_READ or
     OPEN_READ | OPEN_DELETE.
     Parameters:
         file - the JAR file to be opened for reading
         verify - whether or not to verify the JarFile if it is signed.
         mode - the mode in which the file is to be opened
     Throws:
         FileNotFoundException - if the file could not be found
         IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
         IllegalArgumentException - If the mode argument is invalid
-------

The javadoc says nothing about SecurityException.
In fact, JarFile() throws a SecurityException if access to the
file is denied by SecurityManager (this behavior is inherited from ZipFile).

The javadoc should be fixed.
