ResourceBundle.getLocale() method does not return the locale used in the
ResourceBundle.getBundle() method. The locale returned has an empty string as
country code and language code and when compared with the locale used in the
getBundle() method with Locale.equals(), false is returned.

Here is a sample code to demonstrate the issue:

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class ResourceBundleLocale
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        ResourceBundle resourceBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle( "test" , Locale.CANADA );
        Locale locale = resourceBundle.getLocale();
        if ( locale.equals( Locale.CANADA ) )
        {
            System.out.println( " Locale set in Resource Bundle. " );
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println( " Locale NOT set in Resource Bundle. " );
        }
        System.out.println(" locale.getCountry() " + locale.getCountry()
                    + " locale.getLanguage() " + locale.getLanguage() );
        System.out.println( " getString test " + resourceBundle.getString(
"test" ) );
    }
}

Here is the ResourceBundle class:

public class test extends java.util.ListResourceBundle
{
    public Object[][] getContents() { return( contents ); }

static final Object[][] contents =
{
        { "test" , "Test" } ,
    };
}
