[jira] [Commented] (OAK-260) Avoid the "Turkish Locale Problem"

["Hoss Man (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-260?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14111375#comment-14111375 ] 

Hoss Man commented on OAK-260:
------------------------------

FWIW: Locale.ROOT and the non-platform default methods can help you avoid this type of problem.

And the forbidden-apis checker can help ensure that you only use the non-platform default methods...

> We currently use String.toUpperCase() and String.toLowerCase() and in some cases where it is not appropriate. When running using the Turkish profile, this will not work as expected. See also

> Problematic are String.toUpperCase(), String.toLowerCase(). String.equalsIgnoreCase(..) isn't a problem.
