It depends on your configuration and version of Hotspot.   For jdk7 and 
below, the class metadata is in the Permgen, so Universe::print_on() 
will print these addresses.
After jdk7 and in hsx, the class metadata is class metaspace.  If you 
have UseCompressedKlassPointers on, this space is in a ReservedSpace 
below the Java heap (right now).   See Universe::reserve_heap().   If 
CompressedKlassPointers is false, a small space is allocated below the 
heap but it grows into mmap regions wherever the OS gives us these regions.

Thanks,
