Summary

I'd like to backport this change to update releases. Such a suggestion was made via the original CSR reviews also : JDK-8311826

The change is identical in nature to that made for JDK 22

Remove the "available locales" section from bring printed for the default behavior of the -XshowSettings launcher option. Instead, such detail will be printed when the -XshowSettings:locale option is specified.

Problem

As per main report, the output from "available locales" spans 134 lines in the example provided. The data is too verbose for default -XshowSettings purposes.

Solution

Print the "available locales" information when the "locale" value is passed as the subcommand to the -XshowSettings launcher command.

Specification

-XshowSettings will no longer contain an "available locales" section. A message in the locale summary section will indicate that more verbose locale data is available via the "locale" option.

-XshowSettings:locale option will continue to print all locale settings available.

A release note will accompany this change.
