I'd like to open a discussion on what is and is not a reasonable JIRA so that we can close ones that are outside what JIRA is good for.

I closed this on the principle that repeatedly asking the same question in many places in just a few hours is unhelpful.

Here, the JIRA version doesn't have as much information as the StackOverflow question which itself is fragments that don't illustrate the problem.

(My bet on the cause is either repackaging or classloaders!)

I think we need to not allow JIRA items that cause additional work, are "reproducable", or a really questions.

If we get ones that are questions, direct to mailing lists without answer on JIRA. (does not apply so much to this is one)

if they don't have a complete, minimal example, ask for one, once. If none is forthcoming, close the JIRA. It can take significant time to figure out what a test case is and that time is taken away from answering other questions.
