imporperly formated.

Instead of dd.mm.yyyy (same as german), the output is yy.mm.dd.

import java.util.Locale;

Locale si = new Locale("sl", "si");
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance
(DateFormat.MEDIUM, si);

System.out.println(df.format(new Date()));


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected: 13.8.2002
Actual: 2002.8.13

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

Locale si = new Locale("sl", "si");
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, si);

System.out.println(df.format(new Date()));

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

public DateFormat getDateInstance(Locale loc) {
  if(loc.getLanguage().equals("sl")) {
    loc = new Locale("de");
  }
  return(DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM,
loc));
}
