Wrong locales in JDK 1.6 (patchset 3)

Hi,

I've run into a problem with localization in jdk1.6
(patchset 3) at least on
FreeBSD 6.2/AMD64 and 7.0/AMD64. With jdk 1.6
Locale.getAvailableLocales()
returns only 3 locales: "ben", "arn",
"sun/text/resources/".

Yeah that looks buggy so i started so search and found that
sun.util.LocaleDataMetaInfo.getSupportedLocaleString("s
un.text.resources.FormatData")
returns "  ben sun/text/resources/ |  arn
sun/text/resources/ " which is a
formatted string with all available locales that were
hardcoded/replaced at
build time so the cause is somewhere in the build scripts.

That string is build by j2se/make/java/java/localegen.sh and
genlocales.gmk
but i haven't yet found the bug itself.


Can anyone confirm that this is a bug?



import java.util.Locale;
import sun.util.LocaleDataMetaInfo;

public class LocaleDebug
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		Locale[] locales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();

		for(int i=0; i < locales.length; i++)
			System.out.println(locales[i]);

		System.out.println("sun.text.resources.FormatData
-> " +
		LocaleDataMetaInfo.getSupportedLocaleString("sun.text
.resources.FormatData"));
	}
}

I get the same output as you with my build of JDK 1.6 p3.  I
get the 
expected output with similar code on my Windows box.  I also
get the 
expected result if I remove references to
sun.util.LocaleDataMetaInfo and 
compile and run it with my old JDK 1.5... so it looks like a
flaw in the 
1.6p3 build.

This also happens on 6-STABLE/i386 and 7-STABLE/i386.
