Hi,

Compiles and runs ok here on 8.0-RC2/amd64.
I have one issue, which I also had with openjdk6-b16. The local of =20
non-english languages are not correct. They are correct in the jdk16 port=
.

         public static void main(String[] args) {
                 for (Locale l : new Locale[] { new Locale("nl"), new =20
Locale("nl", "NL"), new Locale("fr") }) {
                         System.out.println("displayname: " + =20
l.getDisplayName());
                         DecimalFormat nf =3D =20
(DecimalFormat)NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(l);
                         final DecimalFormatSymbols decimalFormatSymbols =
=3D =20
nf.getDecimalFormatSymbols();
                         System.out.println("decimal: " + =20
decimalFormatSymbols.getDecimalSeparator());
                         System.out.println("grouping: " + =20
decimalFormatSymbols.getGroupingSeparator());

                         SimpleDateFormat sdf =3D new SimpleDateFormat("G=
", =20
l);
                         System.out.println("dateformat: " + sdf.format(n=
ew =20
Date()));
                 }
         }

Openjdk6 gives:

displayname: Dutch
decimal: .
grouping: ,
dateformat: AD
displayname: Dutch (Netherlands)
decimal: .
grouping: ,
dateformat: AD
displayname: French
decimal: .
grouping: ,
dateformat: AD

jdk16 gives:
displayname: Dutch
decimal: ,
grouping: .
dateformat: AD
displayname: Dutch (Netherlands)
decimal: ,
grouping: .
dateformat: AD
displayname: French
decimal: ,
grouping:
dateformat: ap. J.-C.

The jdk16 stuff is better. I looked in the code, but can't really find =20
where this info is.

Thanks for the hard work on porting this. Nice read in your blog also.

Ronald.
