Hello Wenlong,

The intention of the following review is to improve the readability of
the code. Please find my comments preceded with patch line numbers and
fix anything you find worthy to fix.

9
excessive comment length

9-
missed description of parameters (e.g. @param mapFile <description>)
and return value
do we need to pass mapFile through the parameter chain? may it be an element of

22, 24
we don't need both versions of each function, do we?
using one version (esp. of SetBCPElement) would make the whole code size smaller

it would be easier for me to review your deltas of functions if you
don't make the full copies of them

37
seems that environment.h has c/apr style set of includes
can we hide <map> and related typedef in sources to maintain C/apr
style of interfaces
is it possible to use more specific header (e.g. related to jar
parsing) than environment.h for JarFilePackageMapping definition?

93
*the* bootstrap classpath

96-
the proper bracket style is specified here
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12353745/format.sh
[well, the whole file is formatted strangely - Pavel, could you comment?]

97
such -> the

150
*a* temp pool

154-
putting map file operations into separate .cpp file with a clear and
readable interface function names in the corresponding .h interface
would not make existing code less readable

that .h file would be a proper place for new types you introduce, not
environment.h

you may also use the proper Apache formatting in the new file

190-
cannot understand where the signature file comes from - I cannot find
apr_file_write for it
the explanatory comment is welcome

if both mapping and signature files are things introduced by this
patch why don't we use one file instead of two

200
can this be replaced with assert(luni_path)?

213
+1 to Aleksey's comment on literals

[have to go, will continue later]

434
commented code

Thanks.
