It'd be nice to check that files in jar.mn files are really present: it'd avoid to be backed out because of useless missing file:

Hi,
I'm Sayan, a computer science student.
I'm new here in mozilla, eager to contribute.
Please let me fix this bug.

Sure, please give a try :)

Is someone working on this now?
Can I take over?

yeah, please go ahead

thank you.
can you provide a more detailed explanation on what exactly I should be doing?

The above patch has been backed out because the file browser/components/companion/content/companionHiddenWindow.xhtml does not existing.
The description of jar manifest files can be found here:

The goal of this checker is to check that the files mentioned in the manifest are correctly present in the tree.

You said the above patch has been backed out - does that mean that I should not be working on this patch?

The patch has been backed out because one of the file mentioned in the jar.mn wasn't in the tree and I'd like to avoid that in the future.
The above patch is just an example.

Okay, working on it, thank you.
Where should the file location of this checker be in the tree?
