(This answer applies to OpenJDK Hotspot)

You should be able to use -XX:+LogCompilation to get a log file(hotspot_pid< PID>.log, in the startup directory) containing lines like

<nmethod compile_id='2' compiler='C1' level='3' ...

Note:LogCompilation is a diagnostic VM-option. So you will need to enable it by preceding it with -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions. Your script line for running the class file would look like:

java -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+LogCompilation MyClass

See this Oracle article, Understanding Java JIT Compilation with JITWatch, Part 1, for further details.

Note that there may be several different JITs in action during one execution.
