Ouch. I would have expected the default JVM locale inherited from the system locale. Did it start to fail due to "JEP 400: UTF-8 by Default"?

Suggestion:

                if ((cData[cnt] == '.' || cData[cnt] == ',') &&
                    (javaData[cnt] == '.' || javaData[cnt] == ',')) {
                    continue;
                }
