Philippe Cloutier commented on NETBEANS-3743:
---------------------------------------------
Correct Geertjan. As I wrote yesterday, "Unfortunately, to my knowledge, this
issue cannot be solved simply by fixing a link."
The page you mention has most important information, as it hints that some
tickets are missing in Jira. But it does not indicate that explicitly. And as
you noticed, it has nothing specific to NetBeans. So simply changing the link
to bring there instead would be inappropriate.
Here are 2 ways in which this could be solved:
# Migrate Bugzilla tickets to Jira
# Change the Reporting issues page so:
## that it stops claiming that NetBeans uses a single bug tracking system
## and that it points to the NetBeans tickets in Bugzilla
In addition, there is something which should be changed (probably in the link
to Jira) so that following the link doesn't display a specific issue. But if
the core of this issue can be fixed without solving that, I will be happy to
create a separate ticket if needed.

> [The website's "Reporting issues"

> [https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues]
> This URL seems to behave strangely. Currently, it redirects me to the URL for
> a specific issue, NETBEANS-2082:
> [https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues/NETBEANS-2082?filter=allopenissues]
> Following that link, I did a search to see how well NetBeans supported PHP.
> This search turned up surprisingly few issues, which got me thinking I should
> evaluate NetBeans for PHP development.
> But that was before I figured out by chance that NetBeans migrated to Jira
> after using Bugzilla, and that apparently none of the tickets were migrated

> Dashboard)|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa], I could
> have understood that from the Introduction's paragraph on Bugzilla. But with
> the current link, I didn't stand a chance.

> Notes about the Introduction:
> # "Jira" is no longer fully uppercase as if it was an acronym
> # The [migrating from
> Bugzilla|http://wiki.apache.org/general/ApacheBugzillaToJiraMigration] link
