I'm a Sun developer so I can look at the corporate bug database rather
than the one you see from developer.java.sun.com. There is a more
recent evaluation from 8/2 which isn't in the version I see from the
java web site.
I'll see if I can get authorization to send the full evaluation to
this list (it shouldn't be hard to get). I doubt its intentionally
not on the external page but suspect the external (ie, viewable from
the java web pages) just isn't as up-to-date as it should be.

Its still open but I doubt if the bug will get serious consideration
again unless somebody can convince the JDK developer their evaluation
is wrong (this is what I'm hoping to get the fvwm developers to do :-)
