I wonder if you are talking about Java 7 default locale.

I wish I would.

I tried setting the sun.locale.formatasdefault to true by running this (on linux):

LANG=sv_SE.utf8 javaws -J-Dsun.locale.formatasdefault=true http://nmc-server:9000/gconsole.jnlp

But there is no difference. Still the same effect. The LANG env only defines what is the language of the am/pm suffix.

On windows there is a difference, but this is probably expected. With the formatasdefault=true I do get the localized version of the am/pm suffix, but with false (or without it) I get AM/PM. But still no possibility to get the 24 hour time format.

I did some java testing and running this one:  JavaTechniques » DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat Examples

on linux with the latest java does show the correct time formats:

I really hope there would be a workaround for this.

(This forum could also use the correct language settings that I have set in my preferences.)

Doesn't anyone have a clue?

(And why is my previous post still "Currently being moderated." ???)

Funny enough - I have seen this also on one server in Sweden, but it only affects time in messages window.  We checked against logs and there all is ok so we don't bother much, but I might check it more in depth this week.

I'm seeing this too on at least two installations here in DK.

I haven't investigated much, but it seems like a bug to me.

This problem is (at least for me) solved by using OpenJDK (1.7.0.60) and the icedtea (1.4.1) webstart plugin on linux. Didn't have any luck with Open-JDK and NMC previously, but now it seems to work flawlessy!

Also understand from other sources, that the time/date format problem on Oracle Java is fixed in nw 8.1.
