A student at EPFL, Lomig Megard, just finished working on a semester projectin which he extended the jclasslib bytecode viewer to show the scala signature.
It shows you the signature in a raw format (using scala.tools.nsc.util.ShowPickled) and allows you to browse symbols and see their types.
The code is on https://github.com/soundrabbit/sclasslib/tree/scala, but it's not very stable yet. There are sometimes issues related to the compiler instancewhen the classpath in jclasslib changes. Also, i seem to get a NPE lately..

It's a work in progress, absolutely not usable right now, but might contain some useful ideas: https://github.com/scalaj/scalaj-reflect
