apt-get source is neither convenient nor reasonable, particularly with
jars that are the
result of complex builds involving ant, maven, etc. If there are -dbg
for other libraries
why they can't be -dbg for java ones? Besides the source code, having
the line number
information, methods, etc. makes a big difference when examining stack
traces. The
objective of packing java libraries is so people don't need to fetch
and compile them
themselves. If we only provide stripped libraries with no source they
will be good for
execution but not for development.
