Yes, the test covered the cases. What I was suggesting was an additional 
test that uses only public APIs similar to that in the bug report, that 
is what users would do and how they may encounter this issue, e.g.
     System.setProperty("java.locale.providers", "HOST");
     DateTimeFormatter formatter = 
DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.FULL);

It's unlikely for an user application to refer to a private 
package/class like sun.util.locale.provider.LocaleProviderAdapter.

I understand it's been that way for these test. But to me, a real world 
use case is always nice to have. Your call whether you want to add it or 
not. There's no missing coverage.

Looks good to me.

Best,
