Chris:

Depends on which list.  The #1 bug for the longest time (based on
votes) was getting JDK 1.2 over to Linux.  That's being addressed.

The "bug" that everyone griped about with GridBagLayout2 in JBuilder
is fixed and it only got 2 votes (from the same 2 people here who just
kept remininding Javasoft of a hole in their implementation).

I'd say that Licensee bugs get fixed at the same level as the
"important" to Javasoft bugs.  After that it falls to end-user ones
and the vote mechanism is a handy determinant.

Pretty standard procedure, though.  You always have to prioritize bugs
somehow, and no matter how you do it, someone'll be ticked.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
