Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Bug 4652184 asked for rt.jar to be built with debug symbols. Now I'm asking for you to bundle this version with the official JDK (not JRE) installer.
JUSTIFICATION :
Debug symbols will greatly aid developers in debugging their code. The target audience of the JDK are developers who care more about ease-of-debugging than an increase in download size.
Most developers (myself included) have no idea how to get rt.jar with debug symbols.
