This patch has a problem and a missing feature.

The problem is that it doesn't actually parse the index file format.
It is merely looking for lines that end in '.jar' -- but a package
name can also validly end that way.

The missing feature is that one of the major points of using
index.list is to speed up applications by letting jars be lazily
downloaded.  This isn't implemented at all.  I don't think this is a
requirement before checking the patch in, but I do think that PR 27444
should be left open until this feature is implemented.
