Consider these sequence of events:
- I am writing a bug report
- I type 'java -version' into console to fill in version number on bug report
- Java autoupdate updates itself to newest beta
- I run the test case for the bug report unaware of the version update
- Bug report with results from test case filed using incorrect version number
Given the time between 'java -version' and running of the test case is typically small (seconds) this scenario is unlikely but it is possible. But I guess we could always turn autoupdate off before doing a bug report. |
