Bugs.Sun.Com seems to have disappeared. Oracle's bug database is for
paying customers only. Can you report and find out about Java bugs
free anymore?

It is working for me again too. I was getting through to Oracle,
just a generic page that had no mention of bugs on it.

Likewise.

Ironic, how they redirect `java.sun.com' to `oracle.com', but not
`bugs.sun.com'... ;)
I think Roedy might be looking for a specific bug id and it's not there.
I have experienced the same (7001755).

When they get culled/made-unavailable I don't know.

I doubt it.

"Bugs.Sun.Com seems to have disappeared"

"Can you report and find out about Java bugs free anymore"

Does sound lik eit.
I have experienced the same (7001755).

When they get culled/made-unavailable I don't know.

And it has been available?

Logical, but not so. I suspect Sun/Oracle have a complicated mapping
of logical to physical tables that gets screwed up every once in a
while.

When I report problems usually they get them fixed within a day or
two.

They are unusually bad about doing redirects when they houseclean.

Other sites are getting very good about it. I can keep links up to
date for most sites using automation.

Well in this case:
* it worked for other just a few hours after your report
* nobody else have reported the problem

Hi,

isn't bugs.sun.com read-only? I wanted to post comments, but I can't
figure out how to do that.

Also, they wanted to convert bugs.sun.com to JIRA, but I can't really
find that JIRA instance and some pages claimed the transition would be
work in progress - and it seems like it will stay that well for a while.


Regards,
Sven

Here's another one I entered on Friday: -

http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=9005723

How do I follow it if I can't see it?

Here's the reply after I logged the bug: -

That database has always been a joke. Troll-worthy nitpickings show up
fine but real bugs are immediately censored.
