How about javap?

Do you mean disassembler or decompiler? If you're looking for a  
decompiler, JODE (repository version) works fine with the OpenJDK javac.

Oh, in that case, how about BCEL? I used BCEL to write a utility that  
would dump annotation data to the console in a human-readable format  
(identical to the one used in the Java Virtual Machine  
Specification). Maybe you could modify what I did into something that  
would work for you:
