As part of preparing for modules in the future [1], we need to look at configuration (and other) files in the JDK and see whether such files could eventually move to module-private locations.
The Currency classes allows people to override the currency data that comes with the JDK by creating the file${java.home}/lib/currency.properties. I'm interested to know if this is actually used, and if so, is it commonly used. In general then creating or configuring files that are located in the JDK images is problematic as such changes are lost when switching JDK images. I've come across cases where folks have put in sym links into the JDK image for time zone data, I'm curious if anyone has come across this for currency data too.
