Backport to jdk7u is requested since many products (ex: FMW/FA) are still running on jdk7. Risk is low. The fix is to add a new locale data file with 2 lines of code: src/share/classes/sun/util/resources/pt/CalendarData_pt_BR.properties +firstDayOfWeek=1 +minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1

In CLDR (supplementaldata.xml), the first day of week in BR is Sunday. Change firstDayOfWeek=2 in jdk/src/share/classes/sun/util/resources/pt/CalendarData_pt.properties to firstDayOfWeek=1
