Debugging JavaFX

[Kevin Rushforth]

When you say that don't see a problem, what exactly do you mean? If you 
are able to see the local variables in a production build, then that 
would in fact be surprising. The production builds, including EA builds, 
should be being built with "-PCONF=Release" which would exclude vars. 
Someone from Gluon should confirm.
