java.text.BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance().next() treats '\n' as the end of 
the sentence
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HARMONY-62
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-62
     Project: Harmony
        Type: Bug
  Components: Classlib  
    Reporter: tatyana doubtsova


Problem details:
java.text.BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance().next() stops searching for the 
sentence end, if the new-line character is found in the text and returns the 
index of the last seen non white space character. Due to j2se 1.4.2 method 
next() should return the boundary following the current boundary.

Code for reproducing Test.java:
import java.text.BreakIterator;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        BreakIterator it = BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance();
        it.setText("One sentence \n on two lines.");
        System.out.println(it.next());
    }
}

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build Harmony (check-out on 2006-01-30) j2se subset as described in 
README.txt.
2. Compile Test.java using BEA 1.4 javac
> javac -d . Test.java
3. Run java using compatible VM (J9)
> java -showversion Test

Output:
java version 1.4.2 (subset)

Output on BEA 1.4.2 to compare with:

Suggested junit test case:

package org.apache.harmony.tests.java.text;

import java.text.BreakIterator;
import java.util.Locale;

import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class BreakIteratorTest extends TestCase {

        public void test_next() {
                // Regression test for HARMONY-30
                BreakIterator bi = BreakIterator.getWordInstance(Locale.US);
                bi.setText("This is the test, WordInstance");
                int n = bi.first();
                n = bi.next();
                assertEquals("Assert 0: next() returns incorrect value ", 4, 
n); 

                // Regression test for the current issue
                bi = BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance();
                bi.setText("One sentence \n on two lines.");
                n = bi.next();
                assertEquals("Assert 1: next() returns incorrect value ", 28, 
n);
        }
}
