<i18n dev> [8u] Request for Approval : Backport of 8171049 : Era.getDisplayName doesn't work with non-IsoChronology

[Deepak Kejriwal]

Hi,

 

Please approve the backport of JDK-8171049 to 8u-dev.

 

Master bug :  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8171049

Webrev for [8u-dev]:  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpatil/8171049/webrev.00/

Master Bug Change set: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/8dfed4387312

Master Review Thread : http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2017-August/049037.html

 

Summary:

 

The fix was clean backport but new test file "TestEraDisplayName.java" added as part of fix is modified as per jdk 8 release:-  

.         All test written in jdk 10 are written to verify the CLDR resource. Since, in case of jdk 8 "CLDR" is not default locale providers, added Djava.locale.providers=CLDR as JVM parameter to test. 

.         Some resource keys in jdk 8 does not exist in both CLDR and JRE due to which Era.getDisplayName() returns numeric value. Modified such test cases accordingly

 

All the related testing is done and is a pass.

 

Regards,

Deepak
