Hello
  Total: 150 locales available in this version of JRE.
es_CR exist,    expected<0,75>, actual<   0.75>, inconsistent
de_LI no exist, expected<0.75>, actual<   0,75>, inconsistent

Here, Locale de_LI is not recognised.
es_CR provides locale data that is different from data provided by CLDR.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Conclusion: 
de_LI has been supported by CLDR but not in JRE provider. Not added for JRE provider. 
Should correct number format for locale es_CR.
Comments
Although we support CLDR locale data in JDK8, those issues are fixed with it, JRE's es_CR locale data sound incorrect in terms of the decimal symbol. Transferring this to L10n.

WORK AROUND Locale Sensitive Services SPI has been added in JDK6, so that developers can add their own locales into the JDK by providing those locale data through the SPI. For more detail, take a look at javadocs for java.text.spi and java.util.spi packages.

EVALUATION More locales support from CLDR are expected in JDK7 with the RFE 6332658.
