EVALUATION Name: jh25668 Date: 08/08/2002 This feature has been added for Tiger release ====================================================================== ###@###.### 2003-09-11 In a .class file, metadata is structured and includes constant pool references. Getting the metadata via JVMTI would be non-trivial since the metadata isn't a simple string. JVMTI might have to be modified to allow clientsto access the constant pool as has been done for access to metadata via reflection.
