Tool to peek into CDS archive

[Ioi Lam]

Currently there's no such a tool. The very closest thing you can find is 
a map file, which can be generated when dumping the archive. E.g.,


java -Xshare:dump -Xlog:cds+map=debug:file=cds.map:none:filesize=0
java -Xshare:dump -Xlog:cds+map=trace:file=cds.map:none:filesize=0

Also, if you want to see the list of classes:

java -Xshare:dump -Xlog:cds+class=debug

Thanks
