Hi all,
As we always need a good locale database for GNU Classpath, I was
thinking of a way to get it. The ICU locale converter is only partially
satisfying as it does not have any collation rules generator (at least).
I've seen that www.openi18n.org[1][2] has begun a new standard file
format to interchange locale data. It is purely written in XML form and
looks well documented. On IBM[3], we can find the locale database
waiting to be converted.
As it is written in XML it should be fairly simple to write a parser in
Java for these data.
Once it is parsed, we can (I hope) all the same generate the Java
classes/properties corresponding to our internal representation.
I may start soon (one/two weeks) to build the parser.
Is there someone against it ?
Cheers,
Guilhem.
