Looks like there was a change in the methods on Concept for fetching a Concept
Name for a Locale between 1.6 and 1.8.
In 1.6 the following two methods existed:
getBestShortName(Locale)
getBestName(Locale)
These methods had fairly intelligent logic for fetching a name based on
locale... specifically, they would check separately for matches between the
language and country components of a locale. For instance, if you had a name
"Some Name" for the locale "en", and you did a getBestShortName(new
Locale("en_GB")), the methods were smart enough to return the "Some Name" as
the name if no name for the exact locale en_GB was found.
In 1.8 these methods have been depreciated, and now delegate to methods that
only match on exact locales (getBestShortName(new Locale("en_GB") would return
null in the previous example).
Was there a reason for this? It looks like there are methods
getShortNameInLanguage and getShortNameForCountry that I can use to approximate
the previous functionality, but these methods have been depreciated as well.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Mark
