Hi,

FYI, effective after integration of CWS localedata4, see
http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Id=2395&Path=SRC680%2Flocaledata4

Type "required" because if you happen to have private locale data in
your build environment this might now even fail to build ;-)

In case you plan to submit new locale data I strongly urge you to run
the tests as described in i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd as
of version in or after CWS localedata4.

Thanks
  Eike

   Summary

 Runtime checks of locale data enabled if environment variable 
OOO_ENABLE_LOCALE_DATA_CHECKS is set to "Yes" or "1".
 Very basic build time checks implemented.

   Description

 The non-product builds always implemented several checks that validate
 locale data during runtime, especiallly number format codes that can't
 really be evaluated by other means than the number formatter itself.
 As almost no one except Hamburg release engineering does non-product
 builds, the checks are now also included in a product build but only
 activated by setting some environment variable. This will hopefully
 prevent defect locale data being submitted,  which in the past was
 quite often the case.

 Setting the environment variable OOO_ENABLE_LOCALE_DATA_CHECKS to 'Y'
 or 'Yes' (or any other string starting with 'Y') or '1' before
 starting the application outputs messages to stderr if checks fail and
 also works in a product build. In a non-product build the checks are
 still always enabled.

 Additionally introduced some very basic checks during build time,
 which if
 failed will break the build.
