While working on 4422141, I noticed the following:

main[1] dump this
 this = {
    s: instance of java.lang.String[4] (id=298)
}
main[1] print s
 s = instance of java.lang.String[4] (id=298)
main[1] dump s
 s = {
}


In Commands.java, there is code in private void dump() to deal with
ClassType or InterfaceType but not ArrayType/ArrayReference... do
nothing gets printed when you ask for a dump of an array.

Compare to the behavior of the old sun.tools.debug jdb:


main[1] dump this
this = (a)0x107 {
    java.lang.String s[] = { one, two, three, ... }
}
main[1] print s
s = { one, two, three, ... }
main[1] dump s
s = { one, two, three, ... } {
}
