Hi Masayoshi,
It is about adding Currency variants to Slovenia . We hope there is a
method to get the currency symbol before it joins European Union. As
described in test attached. I ported a patch to openjdk 2 weeks ago, which
contains following modification:

public static Currency getInstance(Locale locale) {
String country = locale.getCountry();
+ String variant = locale.getVariant();
+ if ("EURO".equals(variant))
+ return getInstance("EUR");
+ if ("PREEURO".equals(variant)) {
+ /* getNumberFormatData(locale) is used here to get the
FormatData's
+ * resource bundle from which the value of the Currency
property can
+ * be retrieved. getNumberFormatData(locale) is not specific to

for the

+ ResourceBundle rb = LocaleData.getNumberFormatData(locale);
+ String CurrencyCode = rb.getString("Currency");
+ return getInstance(CurrencyCode);
+ }
+
if (country == null) {
throw new NullPointerException();
}

And it came across RFE: Locale Data Deployment Enhancements . So, how can
I make it work again ? And by the way, how do you think about adding this
variants to openjdk ?
