I've checked the "System Preferences" application and under the
"Formats"
tab it is correctly set for the "Region:" to be "United Kingdom".
AFAIK, the Formats tab has no effect on Java locales.
Java Locales only key off one thing in Mac OS X: the primary language.
That's the Language tab of the International pane, at least on
pre-10.4
systems.
I don't have 10.4 installed yet, but on 10.3, dragging "British
English" to
the top of the Languages list gives me en_GB as the default Java
locale.
That locale is assembled from two system properties in J2SE 1.4:
user.language = en
user.country = GB
You should see the properties change as you move items atop the
Languages
list. Whether there's a Locale bundle depends on the combination
of those
properties. It might be worthwhile to write a Java test that looks
specifically for the Locale-bundle you want, just to see if it's
present.

I posted a question a couple of days ago about this very thing:
I have been modifying my application to correctly deal with the
user's locale. It is working fine on Windows, but On Mac OS X I
keep getting the default locale to be en_US even though I have set
my "British English" to be my top language preference. If I set
the language preference to France, I do get the correct French
local and date formatting.
In my program I have the following debug line:
System.out.println(Locale.getDefault());
This always prints en_US even when I have British English chosen.
Any thoughts on how to get en-UK to appear?
I didn't get a response, but this seems like a bug to me in 1.4.
