Re: status of ecj branch

I suggest teaching ecj to emit SourceDebugExtension, as defined in
JSR-45. Eclipse may already support JSR-45. The main focus of
JSR-45 is to handle things like source-to-Java translators (such as JSP)
and include files, but it also includes a standard way to specify
full absoluete source filename.
Kawa emits SourceDebugExtension, and in March 2005 I added support to
jcf-dump to print it sanely. For example kawa/lib/vectors.class:
Attributes (count: 2):
Attribute "SourceFile", length:2, #352="vectors.scm"
Attribute "SourceDebugExtension", length:113
SMAP
