Headless Build For Ever

Ever wonder how build plug-ins with debug informations using PDE headless build ?

In my case, setting the javacDebugInfo property to true (or on) in my  top build configuration build.properties file doesn’t change nothing to the generated class files.

After several reading on the web I found this news group entry from Andrew Niefer (one of the contributor of PDE headless build) saying :

” In your top build configuration build.properties file, set “compilerArg=-g” “

I guess setting javacDebugInfo should have worked the same way setting compilerArg …

Before filling a new bug entry … anyone encountering the same problem ?? What’s the difference with javacDebugInfo ??
