Its even worse. To be able to get also the sourcecode lines of the stacks 
sun keeps the original debug information for the binaries delivered. Sun 
then works on the 'enriched' stacks only. So a crash report which is sent 
in from a build form a non Sun source cannot be used at all since the 
debug information is missing. So such crash reports are always spam which 
has to be sorted out.
So That's why “there are a few hoops to be jumped through if an outside 
developer want to enable the crash reporter.”
