I'd like to submit a Java8 LocalDate API change request (RFE) to Oracle. Unfortunately, the one and only form I could find (http://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/) does not provide the fields (Category, Sub-Category, ) I would need to specify me request correctly.

Is there any other way of filing correct and thorough Java change request to Oracle?

Answer 1

Does this link help you? Anyway, you will need an account at Oracle.

The categories are "core-libs" (components) and "java.time" (subcomponent). Am just curious, what would you like to change?

UPDATE: I have now got a closer look. It seems the bug report website is not quite uptodate with Java 8, missing the possibility to specify the java.time-package. So I would instead try to choose the subcategory "java.util.*" or "JDK/JRE documentation, API, tutorials (doc)" dependent on the kind of your RFE. The categoriy should probably be "Java Platform Standard Edition (JDK/JRE)".

And notice that you can only file bug reports or RFEs, but not request for changing the API in a backwards incompatible manner.

Bug: A behavior that violates the specification. 
RFE: A feature that should be added to the product.

Another idea:

You can try to send an issue on Threeten/Github.
