Hello all,
There is a bug in the parsing of strings in DateFormatSymbols. In many
locales, some strings (such as the "eras" and "ampms" string) have an
additional field separator at the end, and
DateFormatSymbols.getStringArray() does not handle this properly.
As a result, formatting dates result in strings like this:
Date date = new Date(118, 0, 22, 18, 20);
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm aa");
System.out.println(df.format(date));
// Prints: 01/22/3918 6:20 PM® <-- See trailing ® character
I have created a bug report in bugzilla including a test case and proposed
fix:
