Ant debug parameter

[Matt Dalen]

Hey, all,

I'm fairly new to ant scripts, and I'm trying to figure out how to print line numbers when an exception is thrown by java. I've found the debug and debuglevel parameters, and they seem to be what I'm looking for. My question is, there seem to be three separate levels of debugging - lines, vars, and source - but I can't find anywhere in the ant documentation that lists the difference. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks.
- Matt

The javac doc page has this to say on the matter:

-g:{keyword list}
Generate only some kinds of debugging information, specified by a comma separated list of keywords. Valid keywords are:
source
Source file debugging information
lines
Line number debugging information
vars
Local variable debugging information

Amazing the difference between one word and two, isn't it?

Thanks, Jeanne! That makes sense.
