Debug: "local variables unavailable" [message #119292]

I'm trying to debug some stuff in rt.jar.
after compiling the whole rt.jar with debug support
i can't really debug because local variables are unavailable.

At least that is what my debug view says in the top class in the suspended
thread:
MultiUIDefaults(UIDefaults).getUI(JComponent) line 712 [local variables
unavailable]

Any Ideas ?

I found an other error message when I try to display a variable (right
click):
"The selected stack frame must be associtated with a Java project in the
workspace to perform an evaluation."

So I have to associate a project with my rt.jar ?
How do I do that ?

Please provide the steps you used to create the class lib with debug
attributes, and an example program that exhibits the problem, in a bug
report for JDT-debug.

Hi Darin

well when I tried to put a detailed report together I couldn't get it to
work anymore.
My actual porblem is that I want to debug stuff from rt.jar and I'm looking
for the compiled classes with debug support.
Is nobody debugging rt.jar ?

-------

Here my report:

System: Win2000, j2sdk-1.4.2, Eclipse 3.0M4
Problem: Zrying to debug classes from rt.jar

I'm trying to debug classes from rt.jar eg LinkedList. So I put a breakpoint
in the constructor of LinkedList and when I start debuging it says:
Attempting to install a breakpoint in the type LinkedList that has no line
number attributes. .
Reason: Absent Line Number Information

After some googling I though the problem was the missing debug information
in rt.jar. (Because of some hotspot issues ?) And after I couldn't find an
appropriate rt.jar I took the source and compiled them myself. I actually
just decompresed the src and opened a new
Eclipse project. Under Prefrences >> Java >> Compiler >> Compliance and
Classfiles >> Class Generation everything is checked: (add variable
attributes, add line number attributes, add source file name, preserve
unused local variables)

After removing some corba and apache xpath stuff that made errors, I
exported the new compiled class files into myrt.jar. Next I duplicated my
jre under Prefrences >> Java >> Installed JREs. And replaced the original
rt.jar with my myrt.jar

And after a rebuild I can't start any application anymore but get the error
message:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
sun/reflect/ReflectionFactory$GetReflectionFactoryAction

Deleted Classes from original rt.jar
com.sun.corba.se.internal.Interceptors.ThreadCurrentStack
com.sun.corba.se.internal.util.PackagePrefixChecker
org.apache.xpath.domapi.*

You might want to set up a custom bootpath with "myrt.jar" first, followed
by the real "rt.jar". This way, any classes you are missing in your jar will
be picked up in rt.jar.

Yes, but not with local variables visible. A couple of weeks ago I
searched the web for a debug-enabled rt.jar but could not find one. I
also tried to set up an Ant build file to compile the sources myself,
but that did not work out either.

If you find a debug-enabled rt.jar, please let us all know.

Well I'm quite suprised that this is actually a problem.

I found even a bug report at sun, asking for a debug enabled rt.jar.
The answer was that the download would be to big !
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/46521 84.html

I don't really believe that. Does anyone has a better answer ?

OK this what I did.
Now myrt.jar comes first in the JRE System Library.
And my class (UIDefaults) is in both jars.
I toggle the breakpoint in class located in myrt.jar
but when debugging "local variables unavailable" comes up again.

How do I make sure that it takes the right class from myrt.jar?
Should I report a bug ?

Can you check the command line ("Properties" page of the process in the
debug perspective) to make sure that myrt.jar is on the boot classpath?

I see you're debugging an RCP application; great! Try adding
-Xbootclaspath/p:<path to your myrt.jar> to your VM arguments
