How to successfully open a Java error if Sun is not responding?

Question

I tried to open the Java error of the last Halloween. I immediately received an answer that my idea was accepted, and since then I have not heard anything. Looking at Sun's web pages, I cannot find contact information where I can find out. Almost two weeks ago, I posted a post on the Sun forums in what seems like the most suitable area and doesn't have an answer there.

Has anyone managed to get Sun to open a bug report after a long period of no response? Does anyone know who I can contact to find out the current status of my bug report?

For what it costs, I was assigned an internal validation identifier: 1380005.

Edit, added later:

For the curious: what is a mistake? When loading Java JAR files (or anything else), the Java Web Start client always adds an If-Modified-Since header (with an equivalent time of " -1 " - 1 second before midnight 1 -1-1970 - regardless of whether it is empty Java cache), and always adds a No-Cache header. Note. This is the client side that provides the No-Cache header!

Answer 1

I had mixed results when sending bug reports. I have provided quite a few error / RFE reports related to the java.util.regex package; they always appeared in the public database for several weeks and were usually satisfied with my satisfaction fairly quickly. But this is probably because the regex package is small and largely self-contained. I also presented several bug reports related to Swing, and they always took a long time to get through if they went through everything.

But I discovered two things that I could do to speed up the process: post bugs in the JavaDesktop forums and post patches. It has been a year or more since I was last there, but then the actual Sun employees involved in these forums were involved, and if they saw that they deserved attention in your bug report, they could track it through the system especially if you sent the patch.

Did you receive a message that your bug report will appear in the Bug Database soon? I filed the report once, and it took about a week before appearing in the public database. There are also some warnings regarding errors that will not be in the public database due to a " security reason ."

Ugh.

They always sat on the error about incorrect behavior in the compiler and the Java specification ("An exception cannot be thrown, but it is thrown").

You may have a chance if you can fix this yourself in GPL'd Java 7, otherwise you will be hosed.
