Can someone explain to me, or point me to docs, regarding the make/tools/sharing/classlist.* files, how they are used and maintained and what jarreorder does with them?

Thanks, David There's a README in make/tools/sharing that outlines how the lists are created. It's basically a set of benchmarks that are run with -verbose:class and the list of classes is used to create the classlist.* files. At install time then -Xshare:dump loads this set of classes when creating the shared archive. I don't know how jre_reorder is used but I see Kelly has replied on that.
