I do know, but I can't tell you, because Java 6 previews are under
NDA.
You should know this if you have one of them.
If you don't know this, then maybe you didn't read the release
notes, or
maybe you got your preview from some place other than ADC.
If you don't read the release notes yourself, quoting them to you in a
public forum violates the NDA.
So please, just read the release notes.
If you can't find them in the preview download, you can log onto
ADC and
read them online.

First off, I will apologize for snapping at you. A couple people have
come to bat for you and say you are a good and helpful guy. It is a
pet peeve of mine for people to respond to request for help with RTFM
just so they can look superior by making someone else look inferior.
Apparently that is not the case with you, and I apologize for jumping
to that conclusion.
Second, I did search for documents telling me where I would find the
information I was looking for. But Apple does not include README,
LICENSE, COPYRIGHT, CHANGES, etc files in the normal location
($JAVA_HOME/jre). I am a Java Developer not a Mac/OSX/Apple
developer, so if the information is not found where I normally find
such information, I do the next logical thing, poke around on http://
developer.apple.com/java/. Not being readily available there, I did
the next logical thing, which was ask the list (being the purpose of
the list, correct?). Release Notes (CHANGES), LICENSE, and other
files should be kept with the product. But that is not your problem,
it is Apple's. So I did RTFM, which I always do (but you have no way
of knowing that) and came to a dead end.
Third, I went back and read the PLCA (which is what I suspect you
meant when you said NDA), and INAL, but I do not see where asking
for, and subsequently getting information on where to submit bugs was
in violation of the PLCA. If I had told you what the bug was, I might
have been in violation. But getting information on something "that
Apple makes generally available to the public" via an "Apple-approved
feedback channel" is clearly not in violation of the PLCA. (So don't
feel bad Nicolae, you did not violate the PLCA/NDA).
I can appreciate your diligence in keeping with the agreement, which
most people don't even read, but I think you might be being a little
overly cautious.
Thanks,
Mike
