Convert from non-binary to binary format for java memory dump

Question

Using the tool jmap, you can create a memory dump in two formats:

Binary format: jmap -dump:format=b,file=binary_dump.dat <pid> 

or

Other format: jmap -dump:file=other_format_dump.dat <pid>

I've read a number of places that only the binary format is readable by tools like jhat and jvisualvm.

So:

1. Are there any tools that can read the other format?
2. Are there any tools that can convert from the other format to the binary format?

I have a memory dump file that was created using the other format and need to be able to examine it, preferably with the Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool.
