Dan,
Sorry if I've missed the obvious but:
Where/how should we create RFE's, Bug Reports etc?
Will existing Java Sound RFE's, Bug Reports be automagically carried
over from the Sun bug reporting systems (if those same systems are not
still being used)?
Bug tracking system remains the same - http://bugs.sun.com/
Bug reports and RFE usually go through evaluation process (evaluator tries to
reproduce the issue, checks for duplicate, etc.) and the put into the database.
Alternative way is discuss bug/rfe in this list and I'll add a record by myself
(it would be faster way)
Depending on the answers to questions above, when should we start piling
up the requests? ;)
You may start right now, but sending the request be ready to fix/implement it ;)
I have a couple of long standing issues with "Ports" (hardware controls)
that I hope we can resolve (related to Port.Info.* constants - need more
of them and/or parameterized methods to query hardware via OS specific
values - and also exposure/handling of multiple Ports of the same type).
The pain and suffering in this area has taken a huge jump in Vista, so
these issues are still genuine for me...
Main trouble with port controls is the controls in are user-oriented and it's
hard to find appropriate control programmatically.
Issue with multiple port of the same type is required some API changes - I hope
we'll find elegant solution.
Regards
Alex
