Tool to peek into CDS archive

[calvin.cheung at oracle.com]

Hi Ashutosh,

You can list the contents of the classes.jsa by doing:

java -XX:+PrintSharedArchiveAndExit -XX:+PrintSharedDictionary

If you have your own CDS archive, you can specify it using the 
-XX:SharedArchiveFile option as follows:

java -XX:+PrintSharedArchiveAndExit -XX:+PrintSharedDictionary 
-XX:SharedArchiveFile=<CDS archive>
