Javadoc states about java.net.JarURLConnection:

    When constructing a JAR url via new URL(context, spec), the following rules apply:

    if there is no context URL and the specification passed to the URL constructor
    doesn't contain a separator, the URL is considered to refer to a JarFile.

    if there is a context URL, the context URL is assumed to refer to a JAR file or
    a Jar directory.

    if the specification begins with a '/', the Jar directory is ignored, and the spec
    is considered to be at the root of the Jar file.

    Examples:

    context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/, spec:baz/entry.txt
        url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt

    context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:entry.txt
        url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt

    context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:/entry.txt
        url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz/jar.jar!/entry.txt


But examples are not working:

1) misprint:
      context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:/entry.txt
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^
           url:jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz/jar.jar!/entry.txt
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    path to jar.jar should be not changed

2) second example after correction:

    context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:entry.txt
        url: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt

  but new URL(new URL("jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz"), "entry.txt")
  will create url "jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/entry.txt"
              not "jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt"

Imho, second example should be replaced with:

    context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/, spec:entry.txt
        url: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt

    context: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz, spec:entry.txt
        url: jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/entry.txt
