where is the right place to submit bug reports?

[Joe Darcy]

Hello David,

The "incident" you submitted at bugs.sun.com was moved to a issue in the 
JDK project:

     JDK-8030850 Setting .level=FINEST in logging configuration file 
doesn't work
     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8030850

A fix for the issue is in the JDK 9 codebase and a backport for JDK 8 GA 
is under consideration.

Thanks for reporting the problem; HTH,

-Joe
