Hello,
I'm having trouble formatting dates using Java on the Macintosh using
Java 1.4.2 on Tiger.
I would certainly report a bug to Apple, both if it is Java or Tiger
related. Even if there is something else you need to set in your system,
I'd say that whatever you set in the System Preferences should show to
command line tools and the Java environment.
So far I found at least 2 unrelated, but major bugs in the
Internationalization preferences pane for Tiger (I but the 10.3.9
prefpane in ~/Libraries/PrefPanes/ to circumvent the bugs). Neither are
related to your bug, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a third bug
of Tiger. ;-)
The problem is that on my system the default locale reports "English
(United States)" whereas I expected it to be "English (United
Kingdom)", as I am in the UK.
I just noticed that /usr/bin/locale does return for me:
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL="C"
where I expected it to show whatever I have set in the International
preferences. Strange...
Perhaps someone else has more experience with locales then I have.
