[8u-dev] Request for enhancement backport approval for CR 8044107 - Add Diagnostic Command to list all ClassLoaders

[David Buck]

Hi!

Please consider the following enhancement for approval:

bug report:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8044107

This is an important serviceability improvement. Without this backport, 
there is no officially supported tool included in the JDK that allows 
the user to collect classloader information from the command line. I 
have run all the standard JPRT hotspot tests, run the testcase included 
in the changeset, and manually confirmed that the new diagnostic command 
works as expected. The change itself is extremely small and safe. I 
believe any risk posed by including this in JDK 8 is negligible.

Cheers,
-Buck
