> The rules for Locale are different in JDK 6 vs 7, and this getLocale() method was written to conform to the JDK 6 rules. Hence it assumes 2 chars for language, 2 chars for country. Beginning with JDK 7 things are much more complex, and we don't support that. The language can be up to 8 chars, country can be [a-zA-Z]{2} | [0-9]{3}, there's the "script" element, and most importantly, Locale.forLanguageTag().
> It would be nice to at least support Locale.forLanguageTag().
