DateFormat: localPatternChars for German locale aren't obvious

Name: bb33257 Date: 08/24/99


In localPatternChars of DateFormatZoneData_de.java,
which provide localized pattern characters
for UIs, the German characters differ in two places:
   - the character for "year" is not "y" but "u"
   - the character for "day" is not "d" but "t"
    localPatternChars { "GuMtkHmsSEDFwWahKz" }

The first one is very confusing: in German, "year" is "Jahr" - there is no "u".
The second one is fine: "day" is "Tag".


I do not have standards texts about this at hand, but I think
it would be better/more consistent/easier to use if the "year"
letter were "j" (or maybe "J", but I would prefer lowercase).
