+	Logic to extract main class attribute generalized to common methods.
+	* netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/runtime/JNLPClassLoader.java:
+	(getMainClassName) is now calling (getManifestAttribute)
+	(getManifestAttribute) new method, extract named attribute from url
+	specified jar. Called by (checkForAttributeInJars)
+	(checkForMain) is now calling (checkForAttributeInJars). Also logic of
+	(checkForAttributeInJars) was taken from here.
+	(checkForAttributeInJars) new method, read specific attribute from
+	application jar(s) in specific order.
