I need one. Kind of a hex file viewer that understand teh java class
file format definition

I looked into Bill Verner's "Inside the JVM 2e" examples and found out
that he wasn't really reading through the class file format but a mock
text file "/applets/GettingLoaded/ActText.txt"

Now, isn't that one a really odd joke or what?

Where could you get a viewer that steps through the java class file?

The closest commonly available thing is "javap", and you have it already.

You could build one fairly easily with Jakarta BCEL. (BCEL == ByteCode
Engineering Library.) There may be existing apps that do what you want,
but I can't name any for you.
