Granularity of localedata and cldrdata

XMLWordPrintable

      Re-examine and decide the granularity of localedata and cldrdata modules.

      This comment from Alan/Mandy, respectively, should also be considered with this CR:

      "One comment on the test Bug8038436 is that it sets java.ext.dirs on the
      assumption that the locale and cldr data wouldn't be found. I suspect
      this will need to be re-worked once we get to the point of linking
      modules into the image. It may be that the ext directory is empty by
      default (localdata.jar and cldrdata.jar will not exist). "

      "GensrcCLDR.gmk and GensrcLocaleDataMetaInfo.gmk generate sources for
      java.base and jdk.localedata. I think we should re-examine to modify
      the tool e.g. to take an input parameter specifying which locales or
      module the source is generated for. This will make the i18 build
      better fit the new modular build logic such that Gensrc-java.base.gmk
      generates the source for java.base and a new Gensrc-jdk.localedata.gmk
      generates the source for jdk.localedata."
