Jacques Le Roux created OFBIZ-5362:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Create a periodic service to use ICU4J for updating i18n
data
Key: OFBIZ-5362
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5362
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: framework
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: Jacques Le Roux
Priority: Minor
Fix For: SVN trunk
This was proposed by Adrian in OFBIZ-5301, here is the (adapted) quote of our
comments:

Jacques: There are no (yet) easy ways (as for countries) to check and
especially follow changes for other data like: languages, UOMs and currencies.
Adrian: We can have the framework updating those. After the library is updated,
we can run a service that queries the library and updates the database.
Jacques: Actually I don't know much about ICU4J yet, but it seems it's worth
doing it then. Just that we will need also to backport in releases. This can be
done while updating ICU4J lib, say every 6 months or even when creating a new
release.
On ICU4J updates, we would run this service based on updated ICU4J lib and it
will update the concerned data files (rather than DB BTW)
For the countries, I wonder if it's worth it. Because the manual process I
thought about would take few minutes on every change. But as I explained the
3166 newsletter exists, so far, only for countries. For other cases it's harder
to keep the data updated manually. You have to muck around in ISO or/and
wikipedia sites to fish the information.
