Re: What happens when you report a bug to Apple?

I spent a long time creating the perfect program to demonstrate a bug. I
did not receive any answer until 4 months later. And here was Apple's
reply:

>This message is being sent to you in regards to the bug you have filed

The least they could have done was acknowledge the bug on the JDK I
reported it against.
I don't care about Java 1.4 since MacOS X 10.1 users cannot use it.
I did not find the reply very polite, so I have not filed another bug
since then.

I also think Sun's Java Bug Parade is much better. They don't really give
better replies,
but at least it's possible to discuss workarounds with other developers.
