Fwd: Re: How to decrease size of j2sdk_image

[Seán Coffey]

Moving this off discuss mailing list to build-dev.

Why is ENABLE_FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS being set to 1 for many product builds 
now ? It slows down the build and creates increased bundle size even 
though the majority of users do not require this functionality.

Could we consider flipping the default for ENABLE_FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS to 
0 ? (like I've done for all my build scripts?)

regards,
Sean.

You can try set ENABLE_FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS to 0.
