In the following code, a JarFile object is created from a downloaded file.
File f = new File(downloadedFilePath);JarFile jf = new JarFile(f);The JAR file that was potentially downloaded from an untrusted source is created without verifying the signature (if present). An alternate constructor that accepts a boolean verify parameter should be used instead.
