Indeed:  Google "hotspot disassembler", or look at these links:

   http://wikis.sun.com/display/HotSpotInternals/PrintAssembly
   http://kenai.com/projects/base-hsdis

It's a separate plugin rather than a built-in feature, for reasons of  
history and software ownership.  But having a plugin at that point is  
actually a pretty powerful hook.
