gnome archive manager incorrect handling of jar repositories

[moboticdes]

I found out archive manager deals incorrectly with jar archives, by incorrectly I found out these two bugs:

1. archive manager permits duplicate jar files while a jar with a duplicate file returns the error: duplicate entry: some/class.class
2. if you open two jar files and copy a folder with many class files into the other jar, some files won't get copied.

I realize the above is a little too generic however I have a simple way to reproduce the error: download the jgroups jar library from sourceforge (jgroups-3.3.0.Alpha2.jar), extract the jar file into a folder, recompress the jar file into a new jar file jgroups-3.3.0.Alpha2_new.jar now do a md5sum of the two files and they will be different.

If you analyze the two archives file per file you'll see gnome archiver will have missed some files and duplicated some others.
