Fwd: RFR: 8223187: Investigate setLocale() call in jpackage native launcher

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

What about system errors (exception messages from strerr?). I mean  in case one wants to enforce English version with user.locale for support reasons?

Gruss
Bernd

Betreff: RFR: 8223187: Investigate setLocale() call in jpackage native launcher

setlocale() affects several C functions. We do not use most of these functions. We only using isspace() and toLower().
Based on how we use it I do not see any needs for setlocale(). After removing it I retested jpackage by changing
locally on machine and using different language as input parameters for jpackage. No issues found.
