Couldn't you download JavaSE 6u12 and test it yourself on another machine? The bug appears to have been closed down because the testers couldn't reproduce it. If your environment is suffering from the bug and you know how to reproduce it then please submit instructions.
Yes, upgrading your version of Java is generally safe (especially point releases like u3 to u10). We place a very high priority on backwards compatibility and do endless testing. It doesn't catch everything, but it caches most things and any regressions are quickly escalated to blockers. - J On Feb 13, 2009, at 6:09 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Hi > > I've got a couple of questions. > > I've (well... my clients have) been suffering from a closed, tagged as > Not Reproducible, bug on bugs.sun.com. > http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6367148 > There is no way to vote for a closed issue, so I just left a comment > there. > Is there any other/better/faster way to influence a re-open? > > Maybe it is not the case anymore, since I am using an older release of > java (java version "1.6.0_03").
