A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
DecimalFormatSymbols has wrong grouping Separator for Hungarian (hu) Language.

When using DecimalFormat to Format a Currency value, or a Number, the Grouping Separator shows up as a space ' ' instead of a period '.'

This is incorrect.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
 public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Locale locale = new Locale("hu", "HU");
    NumberFormat df = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
    BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("12345678.90");
    System.out.println("value: " + df.format(bd));
  }


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
value: Ft12.345.678,9

ACTUAL -
value: Ft12 345 678,9


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

    Locale locale = new Locale("hu", "HU");
    NumberFormat df = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
    BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("12345678.90");

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Locale locale = new Locale("hu", "HU");
    DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat) DecimalFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
    BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("12345678.90");
    
// Manually change the grouping separator after you get the Formatter.
    DecimalFormatSymbols dfs = df.getDecimalFormatSymbols();
    dfs.setGroupingSeparator('.');
    df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(dfs);
    
    System.out.println("value: " + df.format(bd));
