To better analyze VMs doing a lot of reflection it would be helpful to see for which method/ctor invocations Generated{Method|Constructor}Accessor classes are actually generated. Right now we only see the generated class names, which is not really helpful.

I have a local patch which causes "VM.metaspace", "VM.classloaders", "VM.class_hierarchy" to print out the reflection target of generated core reflection accessor classes. Adding the output to other commands is quite easy.

Example output:

jcmd my_spring_app VM.class_hierarchy
