LinuxQuestions.org - does java Locale.getDefault() work for you ?

Code:

import java.util.*;

import java.text.NumberFormat;



class testPrint{

public static void main(String args[]){

double value = 5.43;

Locale defaultLocale = Locale.getDefault();

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(defaultLocale);

String formattedValue = nf.format(value);

System.out.println(formattedValue);

}

}

i live in GB and my PC is configured correctly for location etc. Yet when i run this script i get a 'u' with an accent. Would anyone mind running it for me and telling me if it works for their locale ? also is there an easier way to display a GB pound sign.

thanks
