Any other comments? If there is no strong opinion against pushing this change, I just want to push it to the repo.

The problem in the bug report is that the currency symbol is taken from the HOST locale provider where it is expected to come from the JRE locale provider. Hans/Hant of zh locales of JRE locales are all implicit. So I don't think zh locales with explicit Script have to be listed as available locales. First of all, this is specific to Chinese locales. Once the host adapter knows that the underlying Windows' default locale is Simplified Chinese, it creates the supported locales list with ResourceBundle.Control.getCandidateLocales() method. This method has a special behavior for Chinese to include Hans/Hant locales as special cases. This is the reason that those implicit Hans/Hant are included in the supported locales list. So my first attempt was as you mentioned, just remove those explicit Hans/Hant locales from the supported list, but it turned out that this issue is not limited only to the host adapter, but other SPI based implementations can also cause this problem. So, I switched the fix to include Hans/Hant into JRE's supported locales list.

I also wonder if the Serbian locales with implicit Cyrl have the same problem. No. It does not happen with Serbian with the said reason above.

However, on the JRE's adapter side, it still needs to declare that Hans/Hant locales in the supported locales list. This fix is to address this latter part.

Please review this fix: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~naoto/8027289/webrev.00/ https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027289 The fix is to add Chinese locales with explicit scripts (Hans/Hant) in JRE's locale provider adapter's supported locales if corresponding implicit Chinese locales are supported. For build-dev engineers, I post this to your alias because the fix is in a make file. Naoto
