Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Wersja 6.1.7601] x64

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In Polish grammar month in date string should have proper form:
24 lipca 2012

However SimpleDateFormat use base form of month name:
24 lipiec 2012
which is not proper form according to Polish grammar. Moreover this issue breaks interoperability with systems that use correct form because date string could not be parsed.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Format date using MMMM placeholder (See attached source code for sample)


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
24 lipca 2012
ACTUAL -
24 lipiec 2012

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
