FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java(TM)2 Runtime Environment ,standard edition (build 1.4.0_02-b02)
Java Hotspot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_02-b02,mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows98 [version 4.10.2222]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The following program when parsing a date in the form "yyyy-
mm-dd" throws a parse error with jre1.4 while it works fine
with jre1.3.1. If getDateInstance() is called with no arguments,
a ParseException is thrown by both jres.

Error with jre1.4 says unparseable date "2003-02-13"

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Datedemo
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
    
   try{
         String d="2003-02-13";
    
        DateFormat df;

        df=DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM,Locale.KOREA);
        Date date=df.parse(d);
        System.out.print(date+"");
     }catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }

  }


REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.compile and run the program (given under DESCRIPITION)
with jdk1.3.1
2.then run program under jre1.4
3.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
should parse successfully under jre1.4 too just like the
way it parsed without any problem under jre1.3.1

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
unparseable date="2003-02-13"

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
