Method clojure.lang.RT.lastModified(URL, String) fails if 'jar' protocol is not handled by JarURLConnector.

Question

Method {{clojure.lang.RT.lastModified(URL, String)}} throws a {{ClassCastException}} if it is called in environment, where 'jar' protocol is not handled by standard {{JarURLConnector}}. The provided patch just adds a type check for that case. I ran into this problem when I tried to add a Clojure REPL to existing Java application.

Hi TV, thanks for the report! Just a note, that we can't accept your patch unless you have signed a Contributor's Agreement as per http://clojure.org/contributing.

Just out of curiosity, is this an internal environment where you've customized the jar protocol or some kind of app server someone else would be likely to encounter?

It is an internal environment and so I set the priority to minor.
