In Ukraine first day of week is Monday but not Sunday

By defaults in the calendar object obtained with locale ua_UA getFirstDayOfWeek
() function return SUNDAY as a first week day.
The code below illustrates this problem.

====================================

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Calendar;

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {

Locale locale = new Locale("ua", "UA");
System.out.println("Locale: '" + locale + "'");
System.out.println("SUNDAY: " + String.valueOf
(Calendar.SUNDAY));
System.out.println("MONDAY: " + String.valueOf
(Calendar.MONDAY));
                Calendar calend = Calendar.getInstance(locale);
System.out.println("Default first week day: " + String.valueOf
(calend.getFirstDayOfWeek()));
}

}


The console input produced:

Locale: 'ua_UA'
SUNDAY: 1
MONDAY: 2
Default first week day: 1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I tried to use a GregorianCalendar with my Locale. There is
a problem: the first day of a week in Hungary is MONDAY,
but in the SUN files that is specified SUNDAY.
This is a not-a-big problem for US people, but for me,
that's a bug.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1, Make a new Calendar, with locale (hu,HU)
2, Test the first day of week
3, In Hungary, the first day of a week is Monday, not Sunday

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The firstday should be Calendar.MONDAY, not
Calendar.SUNDAY

This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.util.*;

...

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("ECT"), new Local
("hu","HU"));

int firstday = cal.getFirstDayOfWeek();

 if (firstday == Calendar.MONDAY)
  System.out.println("The first day is MONDAY");

 if (firstday == Calendar.SUNDAY)
  System.out.println("The first day is SUNDAY");

...
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Well, you cannot use hungarian locale for a Calendar,
you should use:
de, CH.
It works, but it isn't the ultimate soultion
