[platform-releng-dev] Is it intentional that Eclipse is built without debug info?

Hi releng team,

I came across a bug in Eclipse 3.3M7 today and wanted
to debug it right with the SDK: 

Project > Import > Plug-In-Development > 
   Plugins and Fragments, Binary with Linked Content
of the plugins I needed, and launch in the debugger.

First I was surprised that my breakpoints wouldn't
hit, but afer I while I found out that apparently,
Eclipse SDK is built without debug info (-g).

I seem to remember that some time ago, I was able
to debug right with the SDK, though it might be
that my memory fools me. Anyways, is it intentional
that Eclipse is built without -g? Would it make
a good question to cross-project-issues-dev if there
is anybody out there who builds with -g?

Note that -g is also needed in order to get good
tracebacks from the Unit tests...

Cheers,
