Constructors for java.util.jar.JarFile throws java.util.ZipException
instead of FileNotFoundException. The javadoc says:
...
public JarFile(String name)
        throws IOException

     Creates a new JarFile to read from the specified file name. The JarFile will
     be verified if it is signed.

     Parameters:
          name - the name of the JAR file to be opened for reading
     Throws:
          FileNotFoundException - if the file could not be found
          IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
          SecurityException - if access to the file is denied by the
          SecurityManager
...


Here is the example:

-------------t.java-------------
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.jar.*;

public class t {
    public static void main (String args[]) {
        File file = new File("nonexist.jar");
        String fileName = file.getPath();
        JarFile jarFile = null;

        try {
            jarFile = new JarFile(file, true);
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException fe) {
            System.out.println("OKAY");
            return;
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("unexpected IOException: " + e);
            return;
        }
    }
}
