[spring-projects-issues]

Chalitha Jayanath opened SPR-14718 and commented

StringUtils.parseLocaleString() does not parse locale String in java 7 for Serbian (Latin).

Issue:
The Locale.toString() method is different from Java 6 to Java 7, also the Locale Code (variants) are different as well hence its returning different values in Java 7.

StringUtils.parseLocaleString() unable to pass the Locale Serbian (Latin) local.
