<Swing Dev> Synth LnF developers?

[Matthieu Philip]

Hello there,

I would like to get in touch with one of the active developers of synth.
Here is why: I filed a bug a few years ago, and a fix. For some reason,
it had no response (well, some email telling the bug was entered, but I
never got the email indicating that it was
reviewed/rejected/accepted/forgotten). However, I swear that if you look
at that one line of code in SynthParser you'll find it obvious and fix
it in less than one sec (and maybe be ashamed :C)...

The bug ruins one of the advance features of synth.

I hope to get some answer here!

Best,
Matthieu

Thanks for your answer Alex.

I don't know and can't find the id of the bug that I initially submitted
nor the login that I then used (now you must really think it's a joke
:C) However, I found another submission for the same problem: 6771547.
I added a comment to that submission explaining the fix / workaround.
Sorry for not creating a patch, test case and so forth, I am just doing
this on my leisure time. The problem is just an incorrect use of
String.substring().

BTW, I think synth has a great potential, I really like it. It is
central to my current 'leisure project'.

Thanks again and best regards,
Matthieu

Matthieu,

  Resubmit it. It's not likely to fall through the cracks two times in a row. I once submitted a bug that led to a long email exchange between me and a Sun bug evaluator who clearly didn't understand the problem, and refused to acknowledge it was a bug. So I resubmitted it, got somebody else, who email me and told me (correctly) that it had already been fixed in the next major release.
