[Bug classpath/22834] [regression] locales

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Since 0.13 (jamvm 1.2.3) I get a nullpointer on the following line:

DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.LONG).format(new
Date());

this is the stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
   at java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols.setCurrency
(DecimalFormatSymbols.java:397)
   at java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols.<init> (DecimalFormatSymbols.java:151)
   at java.text.NumberFormat.computeInstance (NumberFormat.java:327)
   at java.text.NumberFormat.getNumberInstance (NumberFormat.java:456)
   at java.text.NumberFormat.getInstance (NumberFormat.java:381)
   at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.<init> (SimpleDateFormat.java:218)

   at java.text.DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance (DateFormat.java:469)
   at gnu.testlet.runner.HTMLGenerator.createReport (HTMLGenerator.java:56)


Note that my classes (and thus the above line) are compiled using javac from
Sun.

Yes, I was already halfway through fixing this one before I saw this bug
report.  The exception should be caught by the DecimalFormatSymbols instance,
and I'm currently testing a patch for this.

What is your default locale?  The reason this exception is being thrown is
because there is no currency data that can be retrieved for the default locale.

I have none set (use KDE/debian in default langage, and did not pass any to
jamvm).
I think its C, but if you can tell me how I can find out; I'll tell you what
the output it :)

System.out.println(Locale.getDefault()) should do it in a simple test class. 
I'm committing a fix now which sorts out the NPE.
