IBM J9 VM
NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
When running JIRA on IBM J9 VM using a german locale, the short dates for the months are different.
In particular the short date for march on Sun JVM is Mrz and this is the same as the Javascript date picker. However on IBM J9 VM the short format is Mär. This leads to a situation where the Javascript date picker will put in the wrong value (Mrz) when running on an IBM JVM (which expects Mär).
The following java program illustrates the differences.
import java.util.*; import java.text.*; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy", Locale.GERMAN); //works on sun try { df.parse("09-Mrz-2008"); System.out.println("Parsed 09-Mrz-2008 successfully"); }catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } //works on IBM try { df.parse("09-Mär-2008"); System.out.println("Parsed 09-Mär-2008 successfully"); }catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
