The java.util.Locale class should have a constructor that takes a string representation of a Locale (The string representation is language underscore country underscore variant)

When I have a string representation I have to parse it and pass each part separately.

4291668 suggests a method Locale.valueOf for the same problem:

public static Locale valueOf(String s) {
    String language = "";
    String country = "";
    String variant = "";
            
    int i = s.indexOf('_');
    if (i < 0) {
        language = s;
    } else {
        language = s.substring(0, i);
                
        int j = s.indexOf('_', i + 1);
        if (j < 0) {
            country = s.substring(i + 1);
        } else {
            country = s.substring(i + 1, j);
            variant = s.substring(j + 1);
        }
    }
            
    return new Locale(language, country, variant);
}
