It seems somebody else has already done: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8152154 it has been closed as "not an issue" because I could get back to Java8 behavior by setting a system property. If I understand this correctly the switch to CLDR has the potential to break the assumptions about the patterns used by DateFormat.SHORT and friends - if so I'd ask you to mark this change more prominently as one with the potential to break existing code. Our test that rely on the default patterns can be fixed by specifying the patterns explicitly, and we should update our manual page and recommend using the pattern attributes explicitly if you want the build to be consistent between Java versions. https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59909 I'm talking about build files with something like <touch file="touchtest" datetime="06/24/2003 2:20 pm"/> which works fine on JDK<9 and will break (unless you set java.locale.providers) on JDK9.
