At the time of launch, self-service account creation is not supported. Users without an account can browse JBS anonymously or use bugs.sun.com to view a time-delayed and simplified snapshot of bug state. Users without an account can also use bugs.sun.com to submit an issue. When such an issue is submitted, a record is created in the Java Incidents (JI) project in JBS; at the time of launch, the JI project is not publicly visible. Issues in the JI project have an identifier like JI-9XXXXXX, where the numeric portion corresponds to the bug identifier sent back to the submitter. After an initial triage process, if the incidents needs further review, it can be transferred to be an issue in the JDK project. When such a transfer occurs, the issue gets a new identifier in the JDK project (JDK-8YYYYYY) but references to the original JI-9XXXXXX number will be redirected.
Design considerations
The design of JBS was informed by Sun's legacy bug system used for JDK bugs, the use of JIRA by the JavaFX team, the OpenJDK bugzilla instance, and various other bug tracking systems. For JBS, the natural JIRA way for modeling a condition was chosen by default. Configuration changes were favored over customizations. Customizations were considered only when configuration changes could not achieve functionality deemed necessary for JBS.
