so helpful suggestion, thank you Nathan. According to Nathan's suggestion, I suggest we go ahead as below, 1. verify all the issues without patch, supply a patch if possible. 2. for the issues already has a patch, verify the reason why it was ignored, and then a.write testcase if caused by lack of test. b.supply another patch if the patch is out of date. c.add comments to support it if the patch is ok.

Here are a few things that I think might help with getting through some of the older outstanding issues, as well as new ones. * If an issue is old (over a month???), then verify that it's still an issue with the latest code and note this with a JIRA comment. * Obviously posting patches is great, but patches without tests are almost always ignored. ** If you're posting an enhancement, post a patch that enhances the tests and make sure they pass on an RI. (I always make sure the test passes on the RI before considering the patch.) ** If you're posting a fix, post a patch that includes a regression test. (I always apply the test first, then run it to see it fail, then I look at the fix.) * If there's a particular JIRA issue that you would like fixed and a patch already exists, try applying the patch yourself, verify it and then add a comment supporting the patch. -Nathan > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Wu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 10:26 PM > To: harmony-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: [classlib]volunteer to supply patches for old JIRAs > > On 9/13/06, Spark Shen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Tony Wu 写道: > > > Hi all, > > > I noticed there're many unresolved JIRAs posted so long time.
