Wrong Locale used

[ledahulevogyre]

I wrote this :

package me.leunen;

import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Locale;

public class Test {
  public static void main(String... args) {
    System.out.println(java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance(java.text.DateFormat.LONG, new Locale("nl")).format(new GregorianCalendar(2019, 9, 15).getTime()));
  }
}

When executed from the command line, the output is "15 oktober 2019" and this is correct. But through IcedTea Web (here is a live test : https://leunen.me/test.jnlp ), I get the date in English instead of Dutch. (here is javaws_last_log.txt content).

It seems to be system dependent. Not all computers that I tested on are affected. If you can't reproduce the issue, you can find more info about the system in my original report to ojdkbuild .

We just tried it on a linux system and received "15 oktober 2019" in the ITW log. So it may really only happen on specific systems. @ledahulevogyre you mentioned that you had the effect only on some systems. Can you say if it's os dependent?

[ledahulevogyre]

It doesn't seem OS dependent, because I get different outputs on machines that all runs Win10. Though it seems to depend on something in the system, anyway.

Can you try to launch the jar from the JNLP with the java version of ITW manually:

"C:/Program Files (x86)/ojdkbuild/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.222-2/webstart/../jre/bin/java.exe" -cp <path to jar from JNLP> me.leunen.Test

[ledahulevogyre]

@sclassen the output is correct when I run your command.

This is solved for me. It has been solved in build 8u242 of ojdkbuild. It was apparently already fixed in ITW.
