I added the following property to `jar.properties`:
warn.index.is.ignored=\
The JAR index (META-INF/INDEX.LIST) is ignored at run-time since JDK 18
Then I chose to update the existing property `warn.flag.is.deprecated` from the
following:
warn.flag.is.deprecated=\
Warning: The {0} option is deprecated, and is planned for removal in a
future JDK release\n
to the following:
warn.flag.is.deprecated=\
Warning: The {0} option is deprecated, and may be ignored or removed in
a future release\n
This gives the following warning on use:
% build/macosx-x86_64-server-release/images/jdk/bin/jar -i hello.zip
The JAR index (META-INF/INDEX.LIST) is ignored at run-time since JDK 18
Warning: The --generate-index/-i option is deprecated, and may be ignored or
removed in a future release
Is this repurposing of `warn.flag.is.deprecated` considered ok?
