I've already had the "Add line numbers to generated class file" checked. If it's not checked, it will give me -1. No, it's not the same line number if I compile it using eclipse and javac. It will be the same though if I dont separate the line.
So what made it different is the compiler. I thought it's the jvm.
Is it possible to make eclipse compiler behave the same way like javac for the line numbers ?
