[Bill McCleary]

two new JDK releases are available :
JDK 1.6.0_15 and JDK 1.5.0_20

see http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Leads eventually to http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u15.html
which is the release notes, and which has a problem: there are several
references like "See Sun Alert 263490" but no apparent way to actually
do as suggested, because these phrases (or just the numbers) aren't
links of any kind.

This seems a rather curious omission. It is very non-standard to not
make a cross-reference in a hypertext medium into a hyperlink.

 

[Roedy Green]

No idea why it's not hyperlinked, but Google for "263490" and
read the very first hit.

It is a rather embarrassing flaw. Perhaps Sun was hoping it would not
become widely known.

become widely known.

I would prefer to see that they got Java 7 out of the door over
that they got created links for all cross references ...

It is not that big of a problem.
