The bugs you file at bugs.java.com will show up at bugs.openjdk.java.net after some processing. Once you file a bug at bugs.java.com, you get an incident id, which you can then use to find the corresponding issue in the OpenJDK bug tracker: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JI-9xxxxxxx will redirect to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8yyyyyyy once the bug has been processed. So, no, it's not a black hole. It's more of a worm hole, where you can see something coming in on one end, and showing up intact on the other. > but how can i contribute to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/ i can't seem to > get an account to create bugs or make comments on existing onces. You'd need to become an OpenJDK developer to be able to edit issues there. If you don't intend to become an OpenJDK developer, please continue to use the bugs.java.com web site to submit issues. In addition, please keep in mind that neither the plugin nor the web start functionality from Oracle JDK are part of OpenJDK - so you are not likely to find help for issues concerning such out-of-scope components here. For community support for Oracle JDK I would instead suggest visiting the Oracle Java forums at https://community.oracle.com/community/developer/english/java . cheers, dalibor topic -- Oracle <http://www.oracle.com> Dalibor Topic | Principal Product Manager Phone: +494089091214 <tel:+494089091214> | Mobile: +491737185961 <tel:+491737185961> Oracle Java Platform Group ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
