It's more than just line numbers, it's also local variable tables, sourcefile info
the line number table is 4 bytes per sourceline of code in a method. the local variable table is 10 bytes per local variable (including parms) I don't believe this information gets loaded (unless debugging) so it's just a matter of disk space. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Gregory To: j-users@xerces.apache.org Cc: michael.cha...@teradata.com Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 7:27 PM Subject: RE: Xerces-J Jars How many bytes are saved? I agree that it's a pain when one is debugging.

If you want the line numbers you can always recompile [1] from the source, setting debug="on" in build.xml. Thanks.
