Jeremy, For simplicity, why not just have one set of class files that contain debug info? If people think it's bloated, they can rebuild from source.

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.
