Debug builds

Hi,

     Where did the old debug builds of rt.jar go (meaning, rt.jar with 
full debug symbols, even for local variables)? I scanned the mailing 
list for a related discussion but couldn't find anything. It looks like 
somewhere down the line a decision was made to remove these builds, but 
it's not clear why that was. Also, out of curiosity, what is the 
overhead of the full debug symbols (versus what we ship now)? Couldn't 
we ship a full-debug rt.jar with the JDK and ship the smaller rt.jar 
with the JRE?

Thanks,
Gili
