[Bug classpath/22785] Calendar/getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() problem for some locales

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I noticed a problem while running some unit tests in my project (JFreeChart)
against Sun's (just released) JDK 1.5.  It turns out that my unit tests were
flawed, the results depending on a bug in the JDK (bug parade 4960125) that has
now been fixed.  I was interested to see what results Classpath gives, so put
together a Mauve test which shows that Classpath returns the same (wrong)
results as JDK 1.4, at least for Locale.UK and Locale.FRANCE.  I'll attach the
Mauve test right after I submit this bug report (so I can put the bug id number
into the test for cross-referencing).

Mauve test case attached (I'll also send it to the Mauve patches mailing list).

I'm currently working on integrating these parts of the Calendar localization
into the CLDR-based locale generator. 

The CLDR-database values are indeed '4' for these respective locales.

Okay, this is fixed for our part now. I'm not sure if we should close this bug
or not.

The correct getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() should now be returned for all locales
in the CLDR where that information is given. 

It's available for most countries, but unfortunately the UK is not one of them!

What do we do?

Have you filed a bug with CLDR?  They seem to dislike the poor old U.K. -- I
filed a report because the DST timezone (BST) was missing.
