where is the right place to submit bug reports?

[David P. Caldwell]

I tried submitting one through the Oracle bug tracker but it seems
pretty much write-only and there is enough broken about it (broken
links to nowhere, etc.; the acknowledgement E-mail leads me to a bug
database that does not contain the bug I reported, which links to a
FAQ that does not exist) that I am suspicious about whether the bugs
actually go anywhere that people are using; and I couldn't attach the
files I wanted to attach for the reproduction case, etc.

(However, if there's someone who can see it, I submitted bug #9009048
into Oracle's system.)

I also located the new OpenJDK JIRA system but it does not appear to
allow submissions without some sort of credentials, which I don't know
how to go about obtaining (and is it intended that you need
credentials to report a bug?).

So I'm happy to receive guidance. Obviously it's possible there's an
easy document somewhere which would tell me what to do, but I could
not find it.
