It seems to me that the bug database used for Java (http:// bugs.sun.com) has been virtually abandoned by Oracle, without Oracle specifying a new way of reporting bugs in Java.
The most recent bug report that I made back in february (bug in StAXSource) is available on the bug database: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7148925 However, a bug that I reported back in october 2011 (bug in JAXB) was confirmed in an automatic return mail, but still isn't available online: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7105912 According to the bug database FAQ http://developers.sun.com/resources/bugsFAQ.html#s4q3 it could be because... "Some bugs are not included in the Bug Database for security reasons" But I really cannot see that being the reason for not making it public. Have anyone else had similar experiences? I guess it looks good in Oracle's quality statistics: "Since taking Sun, the number of reported bugs on Java have diminished" :-( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
