Jeremy, Yes, Eclipse does. Also, maybe Apache projects have binary and source distributions. Personally, I think the debug info is a minor contribution to the size, and it useful at runtime too since it helps in diagnosing problems. The source is a bigger contribution and is not needed at runtime.
Woden already has a source distribution as well as the binary distribution. What I meant was do projects really have two binary distributions - one compiled using -g:none and one compiled with -g:source,lines (and maybe vars too). I haven't seen any. I can't find much about any performance impact this would cause. Just compiling our QName class: -g:none -> 2275 bytes -g:source -> 2309 bytes -g:lines -> 2573 bytes Actually I'm not sure that -g:lines (without source) is any use -g:source,lines -> 2607 bytes -g:vars -> 2737 bytes -g:source,vars,lines -> 3069 bytes Note: of course none of these includes the actual source code in the .class files. Looking at the woden-1.0-incubating-M6.jar as a whole is: -g:none 241320 -g:lines,source 269285 -g:lines,source,vars 301800 Given this, I still vote for the last option (and if pushed just lines,source) as I have used binary distros before and attached the source and then found I couldn't see inside the variables (got annoyed), and ended up having the extract the source for the project.
