    Description

      each of the native launchers:
      linux/native/jpackageapplauncher/launcher.cpp,
      windows/native/jpackageapplauncher/WinLauncher.cpp, and
      macosx/native/jpackageapplauncher/main.m
      contain the line:
      setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");

      We need to investigate if this is needed, and this means for a user whose desktop is (say) German, or French, or Japanese ?

      We also need to verify that when the Java app is launched from this environment it is not inheriting this US locale.
