Not specifically but you can use -Xpatch in conjunction with 
-agentlib/-agentpath.

Also if enable the new can_generate_early_vmstart capability then you 
can use the ClassFileLoadHook to patch classes loaded early in the 
startup. In previous threads I think you mentioned this was something 
you were looking to do.
