Java Sun/Oracle Bug database: new URL? [closed]

Question

It seems the Sun URL is finally broken: http://bugs.sun.com/

though it's still mentioned at:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/community/index.html

I could still file a bug at: http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/

But even the link in the mail mentions: http://bugs.sun.com/

Has anybody found the new link?

UPDATE Use this link: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/ - bug numbers preserved!

For filling bug reports, the right URL really is http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/.

To search/browse the bug database, you can use the Oracle Search site function. If you try it, you'll see that every answer points to http://bugs.sun.com (such as this), and when you go there, the page does not open.

It is out (pointing to the main Oracle site when you go to it), but this doesn't seem like an intended behavior (aka feels like this is not supposed to be happening).

If the site really went out, an approach is to check http://web.archive.org and check the last date they got to that URL (if they ever got to it). Google search cache is also a good one. Right now, the google cache of bugs.sun.com points to 9/mai/2013. So this is very recent.

Note: When this question was posted, the URL http://bugs.sun.com was out (pointing to Oracle's main site, as said above). Fortunately, it got back working while we were discussing.

So... it works now: http://bugs.sun.com
