Re: How much are we to report about bugs in Java 1.4.1 pre-release?

I think you are doing a service for the Mac Java community by preparing
demonstrations of bugs in MRJ, and for the sake of that community, I encourage
you to continue to do so.

Adding 1.4.1 information to the http://segal.org/macjavabugs/ Web site is out of
the question since this is clearly forbidden by the nondisclosure agreement.

The question is whether to re-file (nondisclosed) bug reports on bugs previously
reported, report the new bugs that have appeared in the existing demonstration
applets already provided to Apple, hack through the various new crashes that
prevent us from getting into our large applet, finding the new bugs then
revealed by the large applet and preparing new (but nondisclosed) bug reports on
the new bugs revealed by the large applet.

This is likely to require weeks of time and none of it can be made available on
the Web site because of the nondisclosure agreement. So if 100 of us confront
the same devastating bug we are all encouraged to spend the time demonstrating
it in a redundant way that makes us wonder why Apple could not do minimal
testing before they let this MRJ version out the door.
