Source Line Numbers from Class files

Hi,
  I am working on getting the source code line numbers
from class files using BCEL. 

ConstantPool constants  =
java_class.getConstantPool();
ConstantPoolGen cp = new ConstantPoolGen(constants);

MethodGen methodGen = new MethodGen(method,
java_class.getClassName(), cp);
Instruction [] instructions =
methodGen.getInstructionList().getInstructions();
LineNumberGen[] aLineNumberGen =
methodGen.getLineNumbers();

I intend to use getSourceLine() API of LineNumberGen
class. But the array aLineNumberGen is returned of 0
length. Is there any setting of the compiler that will
save the line numbers in the class files, because of
which it is not working right now.

Thanks,
   Nikhil

The compiler has to generate debugging-info. This can be ensured using 
the -g option. I think you can also use -g:lines, haven't checked myself 
if that is enough though.

fyi, just if you are interested - i used another approach to get the 
linenumbers out of a class file:

LineNumberTable lnt = method.getLineNumberTable();
Code code = method.getCode();
InstructionList il = new InstructionList(code.getCode());
InstructionHandle ih = il.getStart();

int sourceLine = lnt.getSourceLine(ih.getPosition());

then you can iterate over the instruction handles using ih.getNext();

greetings,
Martin

The source code line number are stored in the InstructionList class in 
 int[] byte_positions. you can try:
Method[] methods=clazz.getMethods();
....
MethodGen mg = new MethodGen(methods[m ], class_name, cp);
InstructionList the = mg.getInstructionList(); 
int[ ] position=il.getInstructionPositions(); 
 
where m is the index of method.
