Re: Column numbers in stack trace - enhancement request

I've never seen a warning against it on those grounds. One partial reason
might be that it's only recently (since 1.5 as I recall) that Sun's compilers
have routinely included line number information in .class files at all (it has
always been available as an option, but was not the default) and without that
you don't get line number information in stack traces.

I didn't know that Sun had made including line numbers as default in
1.5. I am assuming that Sun made this change because they have figured
out that the performance penalty incurred by including the line numbers
in the .class files is negligible in most cases due to JIT. Is that
correct?
