[9] RFR 8170769: Provide a simple hexdump facility for binary data

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi,

I would prefer a "normal" class instead a convolut of static methods. Via a normal constructor, we 
could pass some custom parameters e.g. capital/uppercase letters for "abcdef", prefix a header line, 
width of the index counter, bytes per line, i.e. have all the parameters, you have hardcoded, variable.

Additionally I would like to see a method with variable start and end:

String dump(byte[] bytes, int start, int length)
