Possible casing issue with DateTimeFormatter in JDK 15 on

[Naoto Sato]

Hi Mark,

Please use core-libs-dev mailing list for the specific discussion.

As to your question, short display names of the time zone depend on the 
location, so you will need to be specific. If you need "EDT" for eg 
"America/New_York" time zone, you will have to specify Locale.US, 
otherwise it may end up "GMT-04:00", eg in Locale.UK.
