I'm not sure I would agree completely with this. What I remember is that there have been many times when I couldn't make a release because of some bug or another. But I have always tried to make snapshots and releases at times when I thought there weren't any serious bugs. Usually there were, of course, but I didn't know about them. :-) Maybe this all points to the need for more complete tests... | John reviews, but you'll also notice that he does the difficult job | of finding an fixing bugs in those patches. Look how many times | he's said "I applied your patch, but I changed..." I'm not sure, but I think many of those changes are just style fixes, or maybe some changes to make things easier for me to understand. I guess I like to think that those kinds of changes might make future maintenance easier, but I don't necessarily think of it as fixing bugs in submitted patches. jwe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
