Name: jbT81659 Date: 06/20/2001

Os: Win2000(Eng, Hebrew), Solaris8(Arabic), Windows 95 (Hebrew)
JDK: jdk1.4.0-b67
TestCase: testDate.java and others

Under Arabic/Hebrew localized Operating Systems, JVM does not respect a locale
passed to it using java -Duser.lang/-Duser.region. and uses the default locale

The following summary describes this bug

This bug affects all localized Hebrew or Arabic OS's

Test case: jCheckBox.java

Default locale: Default locale is not hardcoded in the test case

Tested OS's: Win2000 English, Win2000 Hebrew


Describtion:

Passing an application locale under Win2000 English using:

java -Duser.language=he -Duser.region=IL jCheckBox

Reults in:

   JVM respects the -Duser.language and -Duser.region settings.

   Application Component Orientation is RIGHT_TO_LEFT


Executing the application with command:

java jCheckBox

Reults in:

1. Application ComponentOrientation is LEFT_TO_RIGHT


Passing an application locale under Win2000 Hebrew using:

java -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US jCheckBox

Results in:

1. JVM DOES NOT respect -Duser.languague and/or -Duser.region


Changing locale value in Regional Settings in Control Panel:

   Changing the regional settings under Windows 2000 Hebrew
   to "English" and running application using :

   java jCheckBox

Results in:

1- Appliaction Component Orientation will be LEFT_TO_RIGHT

Passing the Hebrew locale to the JVM using the syntax:

     java -Duser.language=he -Duser.region=IL jCheckBox

Results in:

1. Appliaction Component Orientation will be RIGHT_TO_LEFT
   
To reproduce bug:

Windows 2000 English
1- Compile the following code (jCheckBox.java)
2- Run the application using "java -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US jCheckBox"
3- Note that application ComponentOrientation is NOT changed to LEFT_TO_RIGHT
4- run the appliccation using "java -Duser.language=he -Duser.region=IL jCheckBox"
5- Note that application ComponentOrientation is RIGHT_TO_LEFT

Win2000 English
1- Compile the following code (jCheckBox.java) under Win2000 English
2- run the appliccation using "java -Duser.language=he -Duser.region=IL jCheckBox"
3- Note that application ComponentOrientation is changed to RIGHT_TO_LEFT
4- run the appliccation using "java -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US jCheckBox"
5- Note that application ComponentOrientation is changed to LEFT_TO_RIGHT
