Description Rafal Krzewski

I am no classfile format expert, so I am not really sure if this is a policy
violation on the part of AspectJ. 
Anyway - test coverage measurment tool I am playing witht expects that all
methods have those attributes, and some AspectJ introduced methods do not.

I was able to work around this problem by adding a bunch of null checks, but I'm
submitting it as a bug - maybe fixing it on AspectJ side will pay off in the
long run by increasing tool interoperability.

those are optional attribute, that are there when you compile with java -g
(debug on, same in Ant, maven etc).

Those are optional, and don't make sense for method that don't have source code
f.e. like aspectOf() methods for examples.

VM spec:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/ClassFile.doc.html#22856
"The LineNumberTable attribute is an optional variable-length attribute in .."
"The LocalVariableTable attribute is an optional variable-length attribute of.."
