I think I saw that one of the argument for not providing debug symbols was
size... If there is anything I would not quickly compromise on nowadays is
size. Even my smartwatch has gigabytes of internal storage. If size is an issue
for an application, it is usually not caused by including debug symbols in a
jar.

Well the main problem is that if there are no local var you can not set
conditional break points in the code, inject syserr logging to
understand what is going on and what your code does to FX.
One could provide 2 artifacts one with and one without debug symbols.

Mainly size. Generally if a developer is going to debug JavaFX to point
of wanting to look at local variables, it doesn't seem a stretch for
them to build JavaFX.

so what is the reason to strip them (i guess it it size) it is extremely
painful to don't see local-variables, have parameter names, arg1,arg2,

When you say that don't see a problem, what exactly do you mean? If you
are able to see the local variables in a production build, then that
would in fact be surprising. The production builds, including EA builds,
should be being built with "-PCONF=Release" which would exclude vars.
Someone from Gluon should confirm.

Hi,
I don't see any problem of that kind with Eclipse, on MacOS, JavaFX
13-ea 9 via Maven.

That should have been enough to enable local variable symbols. We
have the following logic for JavaCompile tasks:
compile.options.debugOptions.debugLevel = IS_DEBUG_JAVA ?
"source,lines,vars" : "source,lines"
IS_DEBUG_JAVA is true if CONF is either Debug or DebugNative.
Maybe something else is stripping out the symbols.
Has anyone else debugged JavaFX recently and tried to look at local
vars? If not, I'll take a quick look later today.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of some weird layout problems in my
application.
To that end I want/need to debug JavaFX classes.
But when I step into JavaFX classes I don't see local variables or
parameter names.
So I thought debug symbols are probably stripped from the official
builds.
I rolled my own and tried
CONF = Debug
and
CONF = DebugNative
in gradle.properties, recompiled OpenJFX and integrated the libraries
into a little eclipse testproject.
But I still don't see parameter names or local variables.
Is there something else I need to do in order to see them?
Best regards,
Robert
