Hi all, Please review the fix for bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8087104 Bug Description: DateFormatSymbols caches its own instance and calls this.clone() in the constructor. Because of this, any subclass implementation (which expects a field is always initialized to non-null in the constructor) will throw NPE in its overridden clone() method while using any instance variables which it assumed are initilaized in its contructor. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpatil/8087104/webrev.00/ Fix: Instead of using its own instance for caching and calling clone in DateFormatSymbols, a nested class SymbolsCacheEntry is introduced.
Regards, Ramanand.
