JDK-4629351 - javaw.exe use different system default Locale than java.exe
Description
In traditional-chinese version Windows 2000, when I set system locale as zh_TW while the user locale as zh_CN, when lauching a java swing application using javaw, the there are characters unrecognizable in the popup JFileChooser. When setting the user locale as zh_TW, the same as the system locale, the problem is gone.

EVALUATION Name: nl37777 Date: 11/18/2002 This is a known limitation. As documented at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/intl/locale.doc.html#overview, the user and system locale on Windows 2000 or XP must be set to languages using the same writing system. To overcome this limitation requires full use of the Unicode APIs; see RFE 4637798. Closing as duplicate of that RFE. ======================================================================
