I feel like Bill Murray's character in "Groundhog Day" movie....
While I realize that in some cases it may not be that easy to tell if an
issue is duplicate, in this case it should be rather obvious that
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7913
is duplicate of
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7731
(incidentally, issue will eventually be marked as invalid, but that's
different story and requires evaluation).
Once more, please do take couple of minutes of your time to at least
skim the list of existing bugs. Also, please do not file updatetool bugs
in upgrade_tool subcategory - they should be filed either in
update_center subcategory, or, as Tom Mueller was kind to point out
previously, in their source project issue tracker:
https://updatecenter.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectIssues
Thank you.
