To reproduce:
go to one of boards from environment
wget http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/jdk/8/promoted/ea/b101/ws/jdk/test/closed/java/util/Calendar/Bug4302966.java

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException

I also had tried to add line 
   System.out.println(firstDayOfWeek + ", MONDAY = " + Calendar.MONDAY);
and got the next:

root@emb-spb-ti-panda-hf-1:/export/users/rmatafon# /mnt/export/aurora/sca/embedded/builds/8/b101/jdk/linux-armhf/bin/java Bug4302966
2, MONDAY = 2

See docs.. for more detailed answer. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/extensions/extensions.html Installed optional packages Installed optional packages are JAR files in the following directories: lib/ext (in the JRE) jre/lib/ext (in the JDK) Note in the JDK's I ran from via /java/re/jdk/8/latest/embedded/binaries/linuxhflt/jre/lib/ext has the files you are talking about. Same goes for the the /java/re/jdk/8/latest/binaries/linuxhflt/jre/lib/ext Both contain files.. The JRE's do not need them as they are optional packages.. This is not a bug

This is due to localedata.jar is absent in $JRE_HOME/lib/ext/ Not sure if this is still bug. Just a thought. Is that okay that there is no any warning / error due to Locale.setDefault(new Locale("zh", "HK")); unable to work?

I ran this test on x86 using latest bits.. I get 2, MONDAY = 2 This is not an embedded bug. Same outcome occurs on X86 with latest SE bits..

Is this an issue for the 'standard' platforms as well? Need to try 'std' JRE and JDK on Linux x86.
