package org.apache.tomcat.util.scan;

/**
 * Provides an abstraction for use by the various classes that need to scan
 * JARs. The classes provided by the JRE for accessing JARs ({@link java.util.jar.JarFile} and
 * {@link java.util.jar.JarInputStream}) have significantly different performance
 * characteristics depending on the form of the URL used to access the JAR.
 * For file based JAR {@link java.net.URL}s, {@link java.util.jar.JarFile} is faster but for non-file
 * based {@link java.net.URL}s, {@link java.util.jar.JarFile} creates a copy of the JAR in the
 * temporary directory so {@link java.util.jar.JarInputStream} is faster.
 *
 * @deprecated Use {@link org.apache.tomcat.Jar} instead.
 *             This class will be removed from Tomcat 8.5.x onwards.
