This looks okay to me but the changes remind me that there are several
attributes name in KNOWN_NAMES are should probably be removed as they
aren't defined by Java SE or the JDK.
Thanks, Alan!
The extra Names added to KNOWN_NAMES was my doing, and it was based on
commonly used attributes in Jar file manifests scanned from a set
commonly used applications as an alternative to building up a Name cache
dynamically (which is frought with other perils). The chose extras gave
a marginal but measurable improvement in startup to a wide array of
applications as a result, and their inclusion is strictly an internal
implementation detail. If you insist on having them removed I won't
object, but I believe it's an harmless optimization.
