If we include the deprecation of `jar -i` in this PR, then the CSR for this PR 
would need to also cover that deprecation. Same is true for release notes. Not 
seeing any problem with that myself, but thought it would be good to take note 
here.

Regarding `JarIndex`:

Making it package-private did not work because of the `JarIndexMergeTest` test 
which directly depends on `JarIndex`. Changing package of the test did not work 
because of split packages.
