Well, AFAIK Sun JRE (at least 1.5.x and 1.6.x) strips debug info from classes. This is also true for BEA JRockit *JDK* 1.5. However, Sun's JDK 1.5 (AKA RI) includes debug symbols. So I think it is reasonable for us to drop such info from JRE builds when probably nobody needs it and include in JDK builds.
Regards, 2007/4/28, Tim Ellison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
When we build in release mode, the properties.xml file sets up javac to strip the debug info from .class files (line numbers, vars, etc). While this may be argued for a JRE, it is clearly not useful for the JDK or HDK builds. We only save some JAR file space, so I suggest we disable this 'feature' and always include debug info in class files. Anyone agree/disagree? Tim
