As of Wednesday, there's a build failure with OpenJDK 6 & 7 [0]. During the build, the JDK generates currency data from a text file. For some currencies, this includes changeover dates. The parser includes a sanity check on these dates which fails if the date is over ten years ago.
The file doesn't seem to be very well maintained, as, on 2014-12-31, one of the dates become over ten years ago (TR=TRL;2004-12-31-22-00-00;TRY). The fix is this currency update [1]. In looking to add this to 6, I discovered that there's a whole bunch of outdated currency issues, so I brought in other updates as well. There are just very minor code changes. Pretty much all changes are to property files used in build and the jtreg test cases for them. The webrev is: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/openjdk6/currency/webrev.01/ The full list of backported bugs is: 6608572: Currency change for Malta and Cyprus 6627549: ISO 3166 code addition: Saint Barthelemy and Saint Martin 6868106: Ukrainian currency has wrong format 6610748: Dateformat - AM-PM indicator in Finnish appears to be from English 6645271: Wrong date format for Croatian (hr) locale 6507067: TimeZone country/area message error 6873931: New Turkish currency since 2009 6646611: Incorrect spelling of month name in locale for Belarusian language ("be", "BY") 6910489: Slovenia Locale, wrong firstDayOfWeek number 6870908: reopen bug 4244752: month names in Estonian should be lowercase 6585666: Spanish language names not compliant with CLDR 6716626: Integrate contributed language and country names for NL 6914413: abbreviation name for November is not correct in be_BY 6916787: Ukrainian currency name needs to be fixed 6919624: minimalDaysInFirstWeek ressource for hungarian is wrong 7019267: Currency Display Names are not localized into pt_BR. 7020960: CurrencyNames_sr_RS.properties is missing. 7025837: fix plural currency display names in sr_Latn_(BA|ME|RS).properties 7020583: Some currency names are missing in some locales 7036905: [de] dem - the german mark display name is incorrect 7066203: Update currency data to the latest ISO 4217 standard 7189611: Venezuela current Currency should be Bs.F. 7171028: dots are missed in the datetime for Slovanian 8013836: getFirstDayOfWeek reports wrong day for pt-BR locale 7085757: Currency Data: ISO 4217 Amendment 152 6931564: Incorrect display name of Locale for south africa Some of the bug descriptions are a little deceptive, as it seems that the solution in some cases is to do an update of the currency file, presumably from some internal data, which also brings in other changes. The sr_Latn change is of particular note, as OpenJDK 6 doesn't contain scripts like sr_Latn, but that change did include other fixes worth having, so the necessary parts of the changeset were backported. Likewise, 8013836 was already present, but a jtreg test case update was skipped when it was originally added, so I included it here. The result built fine, which is more than can be said for current OpenJDK 6, in a post-2014-12-31 world ;) Ok to push?
