FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
German Locale

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
String.toUpperCase() usually converts "ß" in a String to "SS" (Like "Muß" -> "MUSS"). When given a single character String "ß", the conversion fails ("ß" -> "ß").
Also Character.toUpperCase() has a signature (char) that does not allow to return multiple characters as the upper case version of a single character.
Maybe you should just keep "ß" everytime (makes no real difference for a german user anyway ...).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Call test program (see below)
