View code as HotSpot does

[kcpeppe]

There are a number of thresholds that control which methods and when these methods will be compiled by HotSpot. It would be nice to have a tool that would list or otherwise highlight methods that violate some of the static rules.

Possible target deployments include;

1. The 3 major IDEs, Eclipse, NetBean and IntelliJ
2. The 3 major build tools, Maven, Graddle, and ANT
3. Jenkins continuous test/deploy server

The tool would highlight the method along with a reason as to why HotSpot would not consider it as a candidate for JIT'ing. The most obvious reasons are method size and levels of nesting.
