[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: debugging rt.jar

["Martin Holmes" <martincanbe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi I am running windows 2000 and using Eclipse 3.1M6.

I am also using the rt.jar located on my machine at;

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\jre\lib\rt.jar

I have read that by default Sun does not compile rt.jat with debug
infomation due to increased download size.

thank you
