Hi,
The "jdk.net.URLClassPath.showIgnoredClassPathEntries" system property
was added by 8211941[1]. When enabled, it provides debugging output of
invalid "Class-Path" attributes in JAR manifests (which are ordinarily
silently ignored).
The new property will be mentioned in the JDK 13 Release Notes, but it
could also be helpful to mention in the JavaDoc (as requested during CSR
review[2]).
Issues w/ Class-Path entries happen during classloading, and the
ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() JavaDoc already has an @implNote
describing other classloading-related system properties. So that seems
as good a place as any.
Please review this JavaDoc addition. CSR[3] has been approved.
