I think ClassListFile would be a better name to make it clear it is in 
fact a file name.

In metaSpaceShared.cpp this comment block:

  653   // Construct the path to the class list (in jre/lib)
  654   // Walk up two directories from the location of the VM and
  655   // optionally tack on "lib" (depending on platform)

should moved into the if block after line #657.

Thanks,
David
