This class is used to represent a JAR file entry.
Constructors :

• JarEntry(JarEntry je) : Creates a new JarEntry with fields taken from the specified JarEntry object.
• JarEntry(String name) : Creates a new JarEntry for the specified JAR file entry name.
• JarEntry(ZipEntry ze) : Creates a new JarEntry with fields taken from the specified ZipEntry object.

Methods:

• Attributes getAttributes() : Returns the Manifest Attributes for this entry, or null if none.

  Syntax :public Attributes getAttributes()
                           throws IOException
  Returns:
  the Manifest Attributes for this entry, or null if none

• Certificate[] getCertificates() : Returns the Certificate objects for this entry, or null if none.

  Syntax :public Certificate[] getCertificates()
  Returns:
  the Certificate objects for this entry, or null if none.

• CodeSigner[] getCodeSigners() : Returns the CodeSigner objects for this entry, or null if none.

  Syntax :public CodeSigner[] getCodeSigners()
  Returns:
  the CodeSigner objects for this entry, or null if none.

        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("codechecker.jar");
        JarInputStream jis = new JarInputStream(fis);
        JarEntry je=jis.getNextJarEntry();

        PrintStream out = System.out;

        //illustrating getAttributes
        out.println(je.getAttributes());
