Re: Feature request: method-local SourceFile attribute

JSwat gets the name of the source file via one of two methods,
Location.sourceName() and ReferenceType.sourceName(), depending on the
situation. A Location represents a particular instruction in a method in
a class, while a ReferenceType represents a class-type (an interface,
array, or class). Take a look at the JDI documentation to learn what
little more there is to the source file handling in JPDA. Mostly it has
to do with the new strata feature, to which RFE 463 would depend.
