Where do you report bugs in the JDK or doc now?

[david.karr]

I discovered a bug in the javadoc for a class in JDK 1.5. I looked in
the bug database on java.sun.com and found it had been reported 6
years ago. It was marked as fixed in JDK 1.6, but from the notes on
the bug report I realized the report had been misinterpreted and I
verified that the wrong fix was made to the JDK 1.6 javadocs.

So, at this point I tried to submit a comment on the report and/or log
into that portion of the site. Both attempts eventually failed with a
network timeout. I've tried a couple of different times, both at home
and at work.

Is the java.sun.com bug database still the correct place to report
bugs in the JDK or the javadocs?

I'm not sure, but your issue seems to be temporary as I can see some not
so old entries in the database.

Here's a bug report submitted on the 31st of August, 2010:

Here's another one from the 1st of September, 2010:

Well, although my attempts to add a comment timed out, I see now that
my comment did get added (twice). I was able to register a new
account, as the one I was trying to use had an obsolete email, but
logging in still times out.
