Now that this API has a section about signed JARs, I think  it  is very 
important to include the following sentences which are copied from `JarFile`:

"Please note that the verification process does not include validating the 
signer's certificate. A caller should inspect the return value of 
[JarEntry.getCodeSigners()](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/19/docs/api/java.base/java/util/jar/JarEntry.html#getCodeSigners())
 to further determine if the signature can be trusted."
