  Description     : Java Object Layout - tiny toolbox to analyze object layouts in JVMs

JOL (Java Object Layout) is a tiny toolbox to analyze object layout 
schemes in JVMs. These tools are using Unsafe, JVMTI, and Serviceability 
Agent (SA) heavily to decode the actual object layout, footprint, and 
references. This makes JOL much more accurate than other tools relying on 
heap dumps, specification assumptions, etc.


JOL is a dependency of the Java library commons-imaging (cf. RFP #1020916 
[1]).
