Submitted on: Fri 06/27/2003 at 14:40
Severity:  5 - Major                  Resolution:  None                     
Assigned to:  None                    Status:  Open                         
Platform Version:  None               

Summary:  java.text.RuleBasedCollator is incomplete

Original Submission:  The constructor will throw ParseException if you try to
use a rules string that uses '&' (reset), '@' (french
accents backwards), or quoting.

This means that we cannot fully implement the collation
rules for a number of languages, including English.

I have added testcases to Mauve for parsing of rules
involving the missing functionality, and also for
the behaviour of much of it.


CC list is empty
