A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
jar crashes when creating a JAR file.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u26

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
$ /usr/jdk1.7.0/bin/jar cf junk.jar junk

Any files and target jar appear to cause the same result; junk.jar and junk are arbitrary files. Although the error reports "No such file or directory" the jar target file exists.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A JAR file.
ACTUAL -
$ /usr/jdk1.7.0/bin/jar cf junk.jar junk
