The current state of specification for https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/15/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/JComponent.html#setDefaultLocale(java.util.Locale) doesn't mention anything about passing 'null' as a new default locale.
In fact for OpenJDK implementation passing 'null' restores the default VM's locale. This is now explicitly stated in javadoc. ------------- Commit messages: - 8263481: Specification of JComponent::setDefaultLocale doesn't mention that passing 'null' restores VM's default locale Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3003/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=3003&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8263481 Stats: 52 lines in 2 files changed: 52 ins; 0 del; 0 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3003.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/3003/head:pull/3003 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3003
