Well, JarFile is a part of J2SE - not too much different from File, so I don't see any problem there. JarFile type emphasizes that input file should be in JAR/ZIP format, which makes it easy to guess. Actually, I don't mind if we have duplicated parameter types as long as users do not complain :)

Hm, so now the user has to know about the JarFile API? I had no idea it existed until I read your mail. I really wouldn't worry about having more than one argument of the same type. It happens all the time, and a little care needs to be applied when using such APIs, that's true. However, with today's tools, I don't see that as a serious problem. I guess we don't often even have the luxury to argue about this, as most often, there's only one possible type anyway ;-) --Thilo
