I think we all know the bugdatabase...
You'd be surprised.
And we know its really large...I wouldn't expect anyone ro read it
through and know every bug in it..
That is why it provides a search engine, which I
believe (even from glancing at the URL string) is
where Eric linked to.
OTOH, I do not get good results from Sun's own
search engine (mainly in the time it takes to get
a response forced down the twisted copper wire
joining America to Australia, so instead often
use (the evil) Google - either international or
local variant.
You might try using it something like this..
<http://www.google.com/search?q=runtimeexception+%22String.format
%22+site%3Abugs.sun.com>
And because it is that way there might be some favorite ..
Favorite? My 'favorite' bugs are the ones I have
been involved with, or raised, or were based on my
code samples. Usually they were involved with
applets, rich clients, and webstart.
..bugs that you
know off/that you stumbled over that might be of interest for others...
Surely that depends on the 'interests' of 'others'.
And heck, they can do their own Googling.
But ultimately, if you could not be bothered
searching for it, why should *we?*
