A hexdump facility has been available for many, many years via an unsupported

Although that class was always unsupported, it was still accessible. That

a very simple replacement in a new and supported class: java.util.HexDump.
Thanks.

googling for "hexdump java" reveals quite a few hits - including
javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.
Does this sun.* class really meet the acceptance criteria for inclusion
in java.util? That bar is intentionally set very high.
Just wondering ...
