Commits to OpenJDK still require a bugs.sun.com ID. There was a plan nearly two years ago to actually make the OpenJDK bugzilla more useful (see http://openjdk.java.net/groups/web/bugzilla.html) but I've not heard of any progress on this. While we're still stuck with the bugs.sun.com system, It's easiest to just ask one of the Oracle developers to allocate a bug ID. They seem to be able to do so fairly instantaneously whereas it takes a lot longer externally. http://openjdk.java.net/guide/producingChangeset.html tells you how to provide an appropriate Mercurial changeset for commit. Commit comments are in a rigid format controlled by a proprietary jcheck script running on the OpenJDK servers and this will reject commit matches that don't match the format or have a duplicate bug IDs as well as patches which don't meet the whitespace formatting requirements (and probably numerous other checks that we don't know about). > Any guidance gratefully received, > Thanks, > Neil > > PS: What is the standard way of referring to a bug from one system or > the other?
