[Bug classpath/32486] New: ResourceBundle/properties resolution

[gnu_andrew at member dot fsf dot org]

Trying to build gcj with the GNU Classpath jar tool falls over the following
bug in our properties/locale system:

        find gnu java javax org sun -name .svn -prune -o -name '*.class' -print
| \
        jar -cfM@ $here/libgcj-4.3.0.jar
jar: internal error:
java.util.MissingResourceException: Key 'minNumberOfDaysInFirstWeek'not found

We should search further up the tree for this key, which indeed isn't in the
en_GB properties file but there is a default further up which I assume we
should rely on.  The java.util.ResourceBundle docs describe a parent chain that
I can't see us implementing from the code.
