Reporting Bugs in Jsoftware Products

For reporting bugs or any other issues:

• if related to a beta release, use the beta forum

• if related to the Jd database, use the jd forum

• if related to the J source, use the source forum

• otherwise, use the general forum

Note that the catch-all forum is the general forum, not the programming forum, see Forums.

Please check that the problem occurs in the latest software versions - the problem may already have been reported and fixed.

When sending the report please include the following information:

• list of steps to be taken to reproduce the error. Try to isolate the problem to a few lines of J entered in a fresh session.

• the exact version of J being used, from JVERSION:

   JVERSION

Qt IDE: 1.3.1/4.8.6
Platform: Linux 64
