      Description

      A hidden class is non-discoverable by other classes by name. `Class::isHiddenClass` API tests if a class is a hidden class. See JDK-8220607 for details.

      This RFE suggests to investigate if JVM TI and JDI API should be extended for hidden classes. Also the existing APIs related to loaded classes such as API to list all loaded classes should include the hidden classes.
