Issues & Help

We are lucky to have a vibrant MongoDB Java community with lots of varying experience of using the Java driver. We often find the quickest way to get support for general questions is through the mongodb-user google group or through stackoverflow. Please also refer to our own support channels documentation.

Bugs / Feature Requests

If you think you’ve found a bug or want to see a new feature in the Java driver, please open a case in our issue management tool, JIRA:

• Create an account and login.
