Reporting Bugs:
Please report all other reproducible bugs so that they can be
tracked. Bugs not reported via the Bugreporter aren't in the bug
database and cannot be tracked and fixed.
Use the bug reporter on the Developer Connection website at: http://
developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ Please put either "Java142R2DP2:"
or "Java131R2DP2:" at the beginning of your bug title. Please
include a test case if possible. A small, reproduceable test case
which can be run from the command line is the most valuable piece of
feedback for us. If your test can be expressed in the JUnit format
(http://www.junit.org/) and can reproduce and detect the bug without
human intervention, we may add your JUnit test to our internal
regression testing suites. Before logging a bug against this
release, check the behavior on J2SE 5.0 on the same system, when
possible. If the bug occurs in both versions of Java, please note
that in your bug report. If possible, it is also helpful to indicate
whether the bug reproduces on previous released versions of Java on
Mac OS X (e.g. the original Java 1.4.2 on Tiger). For hangs/
deadlocks, perform 'kill -QUIT' on the process ID and copy the
resulting data from Console or stdout in the Terminal. Also, please
call 'sample XXXX 3', where XXXX is the process ID of the hanging
process. For crashing bugs, include both the native and the Java
stack crawls: The native crash log is located in the standard
location for CrashReporter, ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/.
The Java-specific crash information is located at: ~/Library/Logs/
Java/JavaNativeCrash_pidXXXX.log where XXXX is the process ID of the
crashing process.
