We haven't done much testing in JDK 9 yet, but I have uncovered a
backwards-incompatible locale change just in our log4j-api unit tests.
Here's a one-liner assertion:
assertEquals("12,00 €", new MessageFormat("{0,number,currency}",
Locale.FRANCE).format(new Object[] {12}));
It appears that MessageFormat is using some sort of fancy space character
instead of a normal space character. Is this change intentional?
The other main issues I've found so far are due to accessing sun.* classes
(Reflection, Closer, some transitive uses of Unsafe), so we'll look into
that a little more first.
