Let the language consists of two characters: 'a' and 'bb' and collation rule
is the following: "< a < bb", compare("a","bb") should return -1.
It returns 1.

---------Here is the test demonstrating the bug (RBC.java) --------------

import java.text.*;

public class RBC {

public static void main(String args[]) {

  try {
    RuleBasedCollator rbc=new RuleBasedCollator("< a < bb");
    System.out.println("Compare result (expect -1): "+rbc.compare("a","bb"));
  }
  catch (ParseException e) {
    System.out.println(e);
  }


}

}
---------Output from the test---------------------
% java RBC
Compare result (expect -1): 1
