Does this need to be a public addition to the Asset class?

This is patching over a public call implemented in Dart in
//sdk/lib/vmservice/asset.dart.

+    HashMap<String, Asset> assets = new HashMap<String, Asset>();
+    Uint8List tarBytes = _requestAssets();
+    if (tarBytes == null) {
+      return assets;
+    }
+    List assetList = _decodeAssets(tarBytes);
+    for (int i = 0; i < assetList.length; i++) {
+      var a = new Asset(assetList[i][0], assetList[i][1]);

If you have even entries for the names and odd entries for the data, then you do
not need to allocate a list of lists of lists:

var a = new Asset(assetList[i], assetList[i + 1]);

Done.

+      assets[a.name] = a;
+    }
+    return assets;
+  }
+}
