I think that from a maintenance point of view this would be a PITA.
Also, as Per mentioned we'd need to extend the .class file format in a
non-standard way to get full debugging information.  In particular,
.class files don't contain the full pathnames to source files.


The "SourceDebugExtension" attribute specified by JSR-45
(http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=45) provides one way to
provide full pathnames.
