    • linux

        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        java version "1.8.0_05"
        Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
        Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)


        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux


        EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
        The problem happens with a german locale.

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The Java Control Panel has the button "Manage Certificates" under the "Security" tab. This is necessary to provide custom certificates.
        However, this button is missing when using a german locale.

        As an example:
           LC_ALL=POSIX works fine. The button is visible
           LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 doesn't work. The UI is in german, but the button is missing.




        REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u25

        ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
        Working version:

        java version "1.7.0_25"
        Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b15)
        Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)

        Not working version:

        Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
        Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)


        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        1. Issue the command: LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 $JAVA_HOME/bin/jcontrol
        2. Open the security tab

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        There should be 3 buttons visible:
          * "Siteliste bearbeiten..." ("Edit Site List...")
          * "Sicherheits-Prompts wiederherstellen" ("Restore Security Prompts")
          * "Zertifikate verwalten" ("Manage Certificates")
        ACTUAL -
        Only 2 buttons are visible:
          * "Siteliste bearbeiten..." ("Edit Site List...")
          * "Sicherheits-Prompts wiederherstellen" ("Restore Security Prompts")


        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.

        ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
        LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 $JAVA_HOME/bin/jcontrol
        ---------- END SOURCE ----------

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        The only workaround is using a locale different from german (for example it_IT.UTF-8 works).
