Hi,

Kindly review the fix to JDK-8209047.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8209047 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rgoel/JDK-8209047/webrev.03/

It is a regression caused by JDK-8202537. Because of the 'B' character introduced in the CLDR time patterns "B HH:mm:ss", "B H:mm" (where B represents the 'day period') for "my" (Burmese) locale. Since, this character is not supported in java.text.SimpleDateFormat and in java.time.DateTimeFormatter, it is throwing IllegalArgumentException. Fix is to change time pattern to previous CLDR's version i.e 29, until 'B' character is supported via JDK-8209175.

-- Thanks, Rachna
