APA java source program mapping

A03 - Java Source Program Mapping PANEL allows you to specify information needed by the Source Program Mapping (SPM) feature for Java programs.

Information needed by SPM is the file path name prefix pointing to a directory where java class sources must be provided unpackaged and in EBCDIC format.
This is not the standard format that a java developers could provide using development tools.The normal way is to provide source code packaged in a jar file in ASCII format.

APA should be able to extract source code from jar file provided in A03 PANEL.
