[DEVTOOLS] how to handle old bugs in old versions of netbeans integration
plugin
Hi all,
I started looking up bugs for the Netbeans integration plugin.
I started with:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=78242
It's from 2007 and the plugin version is very old.
The file referenced in the workaround does not even exist now.
Can we close bugs like this?
If so, what would be the proper status and resolution?
Thanks,
Carl

OK, thanks for this correction. Maybe we need a WEWONTFIX :)

You can set issues to CLOSED in BugZilla, but, at least in some cases,
you need to set them to RESOLVED first (the optimal lifecycle would be:
RESOLVED FIXED meaning that source code is fixed -> VERIFIED FIXED
meaning that a development build shows the right behavior -> CLOSED
FIXED meaning that a stable version incorporates the fix; but we tend to
use the fields a bit more liberally).
I closed the above issue. I set resolution to WONTFIX since it's
slightly more meaningful (i.e., we didn't try to reproduce it; it is
just outdated and not pertinet to the current version), but this is not
a big difference.
Regards,
Andrea.

FWIW -- I did basically "close" this with "resolved" and "unreproducible".
Oh boy...getting mixed between Jira and BZ. BZ has no CLOSE, only RESOLVED,
which is somewhat misleading.
When you search you search on "closed" issues but this produces "resolved"
issues.

Yes, but I, for example, do not have just the CLOSE option available to my
login.
I will look into some of these BZ settings in just a bit. We don't seem to
have all options available to some of us.

I agree that we can close such issues. When we don't know what the issue
means or we have no idea how to reproduce it and issue is so old, we can
mark it as won't fix and can close it.

I don't know but I've wondered about things like this myself. I would like
to change the status of such issues to CLOSED, with some appropriate
resolution code like WON'T FIX but that option doesn't seem to be available.
Given my recent forays into BZ, maybe it's time to RTFM, and see what can
be done to solve some of these annoyances we're having.
