How do you find out if a bug has been fixed?

[Phil Race]

It should show up at bugs.sun.com as resolved.
Since 8014369  bug is marked unresolved, its not likely its fixed,
unless by amazing chance it was fixed under a different bug ID
at around the same time you submitted your report.

I was impressed with the level of interest shown in this bug by people at Oracle so I’ve been checking the JRE 8 early release builds and pleased to see that it seems to have gotten fixed so quickly.  Is that the only way one finds out a bug is fixed?  The Sun bug page still lists it as unresolved.

When the fix comes out in JRE 7, does he switch back to JRE 7 by removing all Java versions and installing the latest version of 7?
