[opencms-dev] OpenCms 6 a 2 - I18N - Workplace Locale Country en GB

[Mike Bachrynowski]

I would like to set the workplace "explorer_files.jsp" etc to correctly
display the dates (date last modified, dates released, date modified
etc) in the United Kingdom format i.e. "dd/mm/yy" not the United States
format of "mm/dd/yy".

I have tried variants of
"webapps/opencms/config/opencms-system.properties"

"en", "en-GB", "en_GB", "gb" ... 

<internationalization> 	
<localehandler class="org.opencms.i18n.CmsDefaultLocaleHandler"/>	
<localesconfigured>
<locale>en</locale>
<locale>de</locale>
</localesconfigured>
<localesdefault>
<locale>en</locale>
<locale>de</locale>		
</localesdefault>

The results in the log are

In checking the code
CmsExplorer .... 
if (showDateLastModified) {
 content.append("\"");
 
content.append(getSettings().getMessages().getDateTime(res.getDateLastMo
dified()));
 content.append("\",");

CmsWorkplace invokes CmsLocaleManager / CmsDefaultLocaleHandler etc ...

I could hack the code to force through a SimpleDateFormat ....but is
there an easier way.


My workstation XP and browser IE v6 are set to locale "en-GB".


I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
