Description
During the class redefinition process, if a class verification fails because it could not find a class referenced in the class being redefined, the printed NoClassDefFoundError error message is not clear. It does not print the class for which NoClassDefFoundError was encountered.
For example, in the verification and redefinition logs from a test program below, the class being redefined is Log4JLogger, and the logs seem to imply that it is Log4JLogger class for which NoClassDefFoundError exception was thrown.
Verification log:

-------
The objective of this enhancement is to print the exception message along with the exception name during a class verification and redefinition failure.
