EVALUATION Jiri, see : http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Date_Format_Patterns for meaning of "v". The closest mapping in java is "z".

EVALUATION According to the CLDR data: http://unicode.org/cldr/repository/common/main/fi.xml?rev=1.75&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup the colon will be changed to the dot. Also the long format will be changed: "H:mm:ss z" -> "'klo 'H.mm.ss" Change in full format "z"->"v": "H:mm:ss z" -> "H.mm.ss v" does not make any sense as the "v" letter is not contained in "DateTimePatternChars".

EVALUATION Fixing now for mustang.

EVALUATION Michael, yes, you're right. I hadn't noticed that the colon hadn't changed to period

EVALUATION The resource files in 6.0 and 5.0u6 master ws still has the format with : instead of dot. /net/jdk.sfbay/export/disk7/jdk1.6.0/j2se/src/share/classes/sun/text/resources/FormatData_fi.java "H:mm:ss z", // full time pattern "H:mm:ss z", // long time pattern "H:mm:ss", // medium time pattern "H:mm", // short time pattern /net/jano.sfbay/export/disk12/i18n/ws/jdk5.0u6/j2se/src/share/classes/sun/text/resources/LocaleElements_fi.java "H:mm:ss z", // full time pattern "H:mm:ss z", // long time pattern "H:mm:ss", // medium time pattern "H:mm", // short time pattern

EVALUATION Michael, yes, the correct format should be H.mm.ss according to CLDR. I checked the format in jre 1.6.0. b37 and it appears to comply with this pattern, so maybe this issue has already been addressed. Can you check ? thx
