Sun says 22% of JVM bugs left unfixed

[Posted February 11, 2003 by cook]

According to this internal memo which was leaked from Sun, a number of known Java bugs have been marked as "will not fix". "Our experience in filing bugs against Java has been to see them rapidly closed as "will not fix". 22% of accepted on-duplicate bugs against base Java are closed in this way as opposed to 7% for C++." Thanks to Giorgio Zoppi.
