Nice tool.
However, I am not sure how toFormattedHexString() and toPrintableString() are
useful, seems only for providing a customizable dump format which is, actually,
not very customizable.
For me, toHexString and fromHexString are of course the most useful methods. As
for dump, I can only think of
1. The existing sun.security.HexDumpEncoder format, when I want to dump a lot
of bytes as a block
2. "00:11:22:33:AA:BB:CC" which fits in one line and also easy to read, when I
want inline debugging output
If the customizable dump method is both powerful and simple enough to create 2)
above, I'll be happy. Otherwise, I can live with
toHexString().replaceAll("(..)(?=.)", "$1:").
Thanks
