The German collation elements are missing from LocaleElements_de.java in
JDK 1.1.6 which causes incorrect handling of German umlaut characters in
collation sequences.

The following program demonstrates the problem. In JDK1.1.5 the result
is "1" (correct). In JDK1.1.6 the result is -1 (incorrect).

        import java.text.Collator;
        import java.util.Locale;

        class Test1 {
                public static void main (String[] argv) {

                    String s1 ="Tofu";
                    String s2 ="T\u00F6ne";

                    Collator c = Collator.getInstance(new Locale ("de", "DE"))
                    System.out.println (c.compare(s1, s2));
                }
        }
