RFR 15: 8243010: Test support: Customizable Hex Printer

[Lance Andersen]

Hi Roger,

Thank you for creating this as it looks good.

A couple of quick questions

- Will the javadoc be hosted somewhere
- Maybe I have not stumbled onto it yet, but is there a document/wiki somewhere that describes all of the useful test libraries vs discovering as you go?


Best
Lance
