RFR(S): 8172695: (scanner) java/util/Scanner/ScanTest.java fails

[Brian Burkhalter]

Hi Christoph,

Not a locale expert here so you probably need to hear from someone else, but this looks like a reasonable approach to me. One minor comment is to perhaps use format() at lines 67-68 instead of println().

Thanks,

Brian

But it turns out, that also the country part seems to be important. I suggest to change the test case to test whether the VM’s default locale is one of a restricted set of locales and if it isn’t, it shall try to run with “ENGLISH”.
