Description Tod Creasey CLA 2004-11-22 14:50:38 EST 
We need to be able to determine if the user set thier locale using the -nl 
command line parameter or if it was determined by querying the default Locale.

I am happy with a system property (e.g. "osgi.nl.user") if you want to do it 
that way so as not to change any current behaviour.
Comment 1 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2004-11-22 15:06:29 EST 
Given the nature of the initial problem that we are trying to fix, a very low 
disturbance fix has been implemented.

The osgi.nl.user is set to the osgi.nl value if one of -nl or osgi.nl.user has 
been specified. The fix is made in EnvironmentInfo.java.
Comment 2 Jeff McAffer CLA 2004-11-22 22:01:51 EST 
How does this handle the case where the user does -Dosgi.nl or puts it in their 
config.ini file (where I would expect an installer to write it)
Comment 3 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2004-11-23 09:22:13 EST 
Every case is handled in the EnvironmentInfo#setupSystemContext().
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-12-07 16:17:54 EST 
This API is not public.
Comment 5 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2004-12-07 16:23:14 EST 
The code for the fix is in #setupSystemContext, but the fix itself consists in
setting the  osgi.nl.user property. See comment #1.
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-12-07 16:36:18 EST 
So what public API can I use to get this value?
Comment 7 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2004-12-07 16:51:03 EST 
java.lang.System.getProperty("osgi.nl.user")
