British english on JavaFX controls

[Michael Berry]

Thanks for the suggested fix - unfortunately though that doesn't seem to
work. The following:

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        Locale.setDefault(new Locale("en", "UK"));

System.out.println(ResourceBundle.getBundle("com/sun/javafx/scene/control/skin/resources/controls").getString("ColorPicker.customColorLink"));
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(new ColorPicker()));
        primaryStage.show();
    }

...prints out "Custom colour" (British spelling), but the control doesn't
pick this up.

Any idea if I could force a refresh on this somehow to get it to pick up
the british labels?

Thanks,

Michael
