Description
ResourceBundle::getBundle() method should fallback back to "en" locale if "zh_TW" locale 
resources are not found. 

Currently in JDK-1.4.1, in the absense of "zh_TW" resources, it fall backs to "zh" resources. 
Instead it should fallback to "en" resources. This would be an exception to the default 
resource bundle resolution machanism. Though, i'm not sure whether this is a valid requirement
on JDK side.

EVALUATION This is a problem in 1.4.1 I18N. Forward this bug to classes_util_i18n. ###@###.### 2004-05-18 The behavior is consistent with the current getBundle spec. However, there's the RFE to make it more flexible. Closing this bug report as a duplicate. ###@###.### 2004-05-19
