ok, so https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6712094 tells me that the long year format is the right one for Locale.UK, and it mentions also CLDR. So I guess the change to CLDR by default made this change happen as well.

That means the US locale cannot understand CET as timezone then?

And... it assuming that TimeZone.getTimeZone('Etc/GMT') returns the GMT
timezone, it means the short format for a date changed from using 70 for
the year to 1970? Or is that CLDR related as well?

I meant the root cause seems to be the same between your first issue and
8130845, where parsing short time zone names has some problem regardless
of it's the ROOT locale or not.

Hi Jochen,

It is likely that these are caused by the default locale data change to
CLDR with 8008577.

Hi,

after fixing some JDK9 related bugs in our build for Groovy we
stumbled
over

new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy",
Locale.US).parse("Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 CET 1970")

failing to parse with

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 CET
1970"
    at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:366)

This happens not with my local machine using jdk1.9.0-ea-b68, but it
does fail on our CI server used revision 0906b79c9df4 for this.

This seems to be the same issue which has already been reported in
8130845.


A second case is this one:

        Locale locale = Locale.UK
        Locale.setDefault locale
        TimeZone.setDefault TimeZone.getTimeZone('Etc/GMT')
        Date d = new Date(0)
        assertEquals '01/01/70',
DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT).format(d);

the assert used to work, but now the format changed to print
01/01/1970
instead of 01/01/70. With the same constellation regarding jdk
versions.

This is expected, as the short date format for UK in CLDR is "dd/MM/y".
