      Currently JarFile.getJarEntry().getName() returns the base entry name for a versioned entry. This is essentially a logical name that, for a multi-release jar, maps to the true name of the entry.

      This issue is to consider creating a public method (e.g. getRealName() or getTrueName()) that allows a JarFile client to obtain the real name of a JarEntry.
