Insufficient information.

What the? Insufficient information? I included the full error message, how to 
reproduce it, what OS and version I was running. What information do you need? 
How about YOU give more information about what was missing?

First issue is your information on how to reproduce the problem (or lack 
thereof) Seriously? Connect and play a game? When does the error occur? Right 
after starting the game? After 20 moves? Does it happen with every game?

Next, I seriously doubt that you included the entire stack trace (and the part 
that is present, is completely mangled due to reformatting) Normally the stack 
trace is the most important part of a bug report because it allows to locate 
exactly where in the source code that the problem occured: what little 
information you kept in your report is not sufficient (at least not for me) to 
even start looking.

As for which version of Raptor: I can think of at least 3 possible answers to 
"latest version" (from installer, the more recently added jar or from source 
repository)

So, if you believe that you did provide sufficient information, then by all 
means feel free to locate the problem in the code yourself and submit a fix.

The error occurred immediately on starting the game. It happens every game. As 
far as stack trace being mangled, this bug tracker did that. The most relevant 
parts are probably:

and

I don't remember now if the version was from the installer, a jar, or the 
source repository, but I think I may have tried all 3.

As far as fixing it myself, I feel your comment is deliberately inflammatory. 
Why would I even bother to submit I bug report alone if I had the time and 
inclination to do that? I would have submitted a code patch. That said I prefer 
to contribute to projects that foster better communication than ones that close 
tickets with comments like "Insufficient information.", without specifying what 
to additional information is needed. I am using a different chess client at 
this point, and I guess I shall continue to do so since I guess you really 
aren't interested in fixing errors reported in this one. I will not trouble you 
further with bug reports, worry not. It is no wonder the "latest" release on 
your web page is over 2 years old. That is all well and good, you can update it 
as often (or not) as you like, but I won't be running, or contributing to a 
project with admins with this kind of attitude. That is my prerogative. Do as 
you wish with the information I supplied. If should choose to contribute I may 
fork the code and maintain my own version, however that is unlikely. I am only 
bothering to make these comments on the off chance that you may not be fully 
aware of the effects of your handling of bug reports. I am probably wasting my 
breath, but hey, I do think the software has potential. I wish I could use it, 
but I can't. Oh well.

You may have noticed in the partial stacktrace that the only classes where a 
line number is given, are classes that are not part of Raptor but are in 
general libraries. The only way to hope to find out *where* in the Raptor code 
that an exception occurred is therefore to follow the complete trace of Raptor 
method calls.

If you feel that my reaction was "deliberately inflammatory", know that english 
is only my third language and that I interpreted the start of your previous 
message just as "deliberately inflammatory": "What the?..."

Anyway, the project creator and previous maintainer (Carson) unexpectedly made 
me a project admin a couple of months ago because he had other urgent 
priorities. I never had the intention to take over the project but it seems 
that no one else wants to step in and take over. The only reason why I got 
involved in the project was because of a couple of new features that I wanted 
to add: I did not sign up for fixing year old bugs, and certainly not if the 
submitters won't even bother taking the time to fill in a complete bug report. 
I believe that is *my* prerogative.

Add to that the new google policy that forbids to upload new installers and you 
get the picture: it is no longer possible to upload new builds to this site, 
only code changes.
