All of the data ultimately comes from Unicode CLDR. For both English and German, the format string used for MONTH_ABBR is "LLL", which is the standalone abbreviated form of the month. In English, all of the abbreviated names are 3 letters, as they should be. For German, the standalone form of the month (to be used when it doesn't have a day and/or year in the format, depending on the locale) used to have the varying length and punctuation you describe, but has been updated in the current CLDR to all 3-letter abbreviations.
So, the updated German abbreviations will be picked up automatically when we next update the CLDR data included in GWT, which unfortunately will not be in time for the 2.4 release. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
