Introduction

Basque language support for Java Locale-Sensitive Services SPI.

Note that Java supports basque language since JRE 11. This extension provides same behavior as JRE 23 for applications that cannot upgrade from Java 8.

A full, up-to-date, internalization with basque language support can be obtained using ICU4J. This option can be somewhat overkill for small projects that only require basque language support.

Usage

Nota that JRE uses Java Extension Mechanism to load Locale-Sensitive Services.

This means that including the library as project dependency is not enough to new languages support work.

The library must be included in the JRE installation's lib/ext/ directory, the shared /usr/java/packages/lib/ext directory (in Linux) or a custom directory configured through Java java.ext.dirs system property.

Features

The library implements all the Java Locale-Sensitive services:

LocaleServiceProvider
LocaleNameProvider
CalendarNameProvider
CalendarDataProvider
CurrencyNameProvider
TimeZoneNameProvider
BreakIteratorProvider
CollatorProvider
DateFormatProvider
DateFormatSymbolsProvider
DecimalFormatSymbolsProvider
NumberFormatProvider
