Re: [Beepcore-java-users] TCPSession.sendFrame: NullPointerException

[Pete S. <si...@uc...>]

I haven't seen much traffic on this list since I joined. It's good to 
see some.

I found a bug in Java BEEP and reported it to the buglist at the BEEP
SourceForge site.  I just wonder - is that the right thing to do, or are 
other
users using this list to talk about bugs?
