For example, https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk20-suported-locales.html had "CLDR release 39" rather than 42 as stated here. Similarly jdk19-suported-locales.html -> 39 instead of 41, 18 was correctly -> 39, but 17 -> 35.1, and so on.

Thanks for pointing it out. Will let the doc people know. It is at least good that the latest doc for JDK21 is correct.

If you decide to do that, then we may use it here to state: The JDK uses CLDR to implement locale-sensitive APIs in the java.util and java.text packages.

Used the full name in both places, as they are the locations that refer to the Unicode's locale data. Other "CLDR" represents the JDK's CLDR locale data provider.

Good point. Removed.
