/**
- * <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> is a concrete subclass of
- * <code>Collator</code>. It allows customization of the
- * <code>Collator</code> via user-specified rule sets.
- * <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> is designed to be fully compliant to the <a
- * href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr10/"> Unicode Collation
- * Algorithm (UCA) </a> and conforms to ISO 14651.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Create a <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> from a locale by calling the
- * <code>getInstance(Locale)</code> factory method in the base class
- * <code>Collator</code>.<code>Collator.getInstance(Locale)</code> creates
- * a <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> object based on the collation rules
- * defined by the argument locale. If a customized collation is required, use
- * the <code>RuleBasedCollator(String)</code> constructor with the appropriate
- * rules. The customized <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> will base its ordering
- * on UCA, while re-adjusting the attributes and orders of the characters in the
- * specified rule accordingly.
- * </p>
- *
+ * A concrete implementation class for {@code Collation}.
+ * <p>
+ * {@code RuleBasedCollator} has the following restrictions for efficiency
+ * (other subclasses may be used for more complex languages):
+ * <ol>
+ * <li> If a French secondary ordering is specified it applies to the whole
+ * collator object.</li>
+ * <li> All non-mentioned Unicode characters are at the end of the collation
+ * order.</li>
+ * <li> If a character is not located in the {@code RuleBasedCollator}, the
+ * default Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA) rulebased table is automatically
+ * searched as a backup.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ * <p>
+ * The collation table is composed of a list of collation rules, where each rule
+ * is of three forms:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * <modifier>
+ * <relation> <text-argument>
+ * <reset> <text-argument>
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * The rule elements are defined as follows:
+ * <ul type="disc">
+ * <li><strong>Text-Argument</strong>: A text-argument is any sequence of
+ * characters, excluding special characters (that is, common whitespace
+ * characters [0009-000D, 0020] and rule syntax characters [0021-002F,
+ * 003A-0040, 005B-0060, 007B-007E]). If those characters are desired, you can
+ * put them in single quotes (for example, use '&' for ampersand). Note that
+ * unquoted white space characters are ignored; for example, {@code b c} is
+ * treated as {@code bc}.</li>
+ * <li><strong>Modifier</strong>: There is a single modifier which is used to
+ * specify that all accents (secondary differences) are backwards.
+ * <p>
+ * '@' : Indicates that accents are sorted backwards, as in French.
+ * </li>
+ * <li><strong>Relation</strong>: The relations are the following:
+ * <ul type=square>
+ * <li>'<' : Greater, as a letter difference (primary)
+ * <li>';' : Greater, as an accent difference (secondary)
+ * <li>',' : Greater, as a case difference (tertiary)
+ * <li>'=' : Equal
+ * </ul>
+ * </li>
+ * <li><strong>Reset</strong>: There is a single reset which is used primarily
+ * for contractions and expansions, but which can also be used to add a
+ * modification at the end of a set of rules.
+ * <p>
+ * '&' : Indicates that the next rule follows the position to where the reset
+ * text-argument would be sorted.
+ * </li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * This sounds more complicated than it is in practice. For example, the
+ * following are equivalent ways of expressing the same thing:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * a < b < c
+ * a < b & b < c
+ * a < c & a < b
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Notice that the order is important, as the subsequent item goes immediately
+ * after the text-argument. The following are not equivalent:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * a < b & a < c
+ * a < c & a < b
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Either the text-argument must already be present in the sequence, or some
+ * initial substring of the text-argument must be present. For example
+ * {@code "a < b & ae < e"} is valid since "a" is present in the sequence before
+ * "ae" is reset. In this latter case, "ae" is not entered and treated as a
+ * single character; instead, "e" is sorted as if it were expanded to two
+ * characters: "a" followed by an "e". This difference appears in natural
+ * languages: in traditional Spanish "ch" is treated as if it contracts to a
+ * single character (expressed as {@code "c < ch < d"}), while in traditional
+ * German a-umlaut is treated as if it expands to two characters (expressed as
+ * {@code "a,A < b,B ... & ae;\u00e3 & AE;\u00c3"}, where \u00e3 and \u00c3
+ * are the escape sequences for a-umlaut).
+ * <h4>Ignorable Characters</h4>
+ * <p>
+ * For ignorable characters, the first rule must start with a relation (the
+ * examples we have used above are really fragments; {@code "a < b"} really
+ * should be {@code "< a < b"}). If, however, the first relation is not
+ * {@code "<"}, then all text-arguments up to the first {@code "<"} are
+ * ignorable. For example, {@code ", - < a < b"} makes {@code "-"} an ignorable
+ * character.
+ * <h4>Normalization and Accents</h4>
+ * <p>
+ * {@code RuleBasedCollator} automatically processes its rule table to include
+ * both pre-composed and combining-character versions of accented characters.
+ * Even if the provided rule string contains only base characters and separate
+ * combining accent characters, the pre-composed accented characters matching
+ * all canonical combinations of characters from the rule string will be entered
+ * in the table.
+ * <p>
+ * This allows you to use a RuleBasedCollator to compare accented strings even
+ * when the collator is set to NO_DECOMPOSITION. However, if the strings to be
+ * collated contain combining sequences that may not be in canonical order, you
+ * should set the collator to CANONICAL_DECOMPOSITION to enable sorting of
+ * combining sequences. For more information, see <a
+ * href="http://www.aw.com/devpress">The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0</a>.
+ * <h4>Errors</h4>
+ * <p>
+ * The following rules are not valid:
+ * <ul type="disc">
+ * <li>A text-argument contains unquoted punctuation symbols, for example
+ * {@code "a < b-c < d"}.</li>
+ * <li>A relation or reset character is not followed by a text-argument, for
+ * example {@code "a < , b"}.</li>
+ * <li>A reset where the text-argument (or an initial substring of the
+ * text-argument) is not already in the sequence or allocated in the default UCA
+ * table, for example {@code "a < b & e < f"}.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * If you produce one of these errors, {@code RuleBasedCollator} throws a
+ * {@code ParseException}.
+ * <h4>Examples</h4>
+ * <p>
+ * Normally, to create a rule-based collator object, you will use
+ * {@code Collator}'s factory method {@code getInstance}. However, to create a
+ * rule-based collator object with specialized rules tailored to your needs, you
+ * construct the {@code RuleBasedCollator} with the rules contained in a
+ * {@code String} object. For example:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * String Simple = "< a < b < c < d";
+ *
+ * RuleBasedCollator mySimple = new RuleBasedCollator(Simple);
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Or:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * String Norwegian = "< a,A< b,B< c,C< d,D< e,E< f,F< g,G< h,H< i,I"
+ * + "< j,J< k,K< l,L< m,M< n,N< o,O< p,P< q,Q< r,R"
+ * + "< s,S< t,T< u,U< v,V< w,W< x,X< y,Y< z,Z"
+ * + "< \u00E5=a\u030A,\u00C5=A\u030A"
+ * + ";aa,AA< \u00E6,\u00C6< \u00F8,\u00D8";
+ *
+ * RuleBasedCollator myNorwegian = new RuleBasedCollator(Norwegian);
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Combining {@code Collator}s is as simple as concatenating strings. Here is
+ * an example that combines two {@code Collator}s from two different locales:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * // Create an en_US Collator object
+ * RuleBasedCollator en_USCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)Collator
+ * .getInstance(new Locale("en", "US", ""));
+ *
+ * // Create a da_DK Collator object
+ * RuleBasedCollator da_DKCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)Collator
+ * .getInstance(new Locale("da", "DK", ""));
+ *
+ * // Combine the two collators
+ * // First, get the collation rules from en_USCollator
+ * String en_USRules = en_USCollator.getRules();
+ *
+ * // Second, get the collation rules from da_DKCollator
+ * String da_DKRules = da_DKCollator.getRules();
+ *
+ * RuleBasedCollator newCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(en_USRules + da_DKRules);
+ * // newCollator has the combined rules
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * The next example shows to make changes on an existing table to create a new
+ * {@code Collator} object. For example, add {@code "& C < ch, cH, Ch, CH"} to
+ * the {@code en_USCollator} object to create your own:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * // Create a new Collator object with additional rules
+ * String addRules = "& C < ch, cH, Ch, CH";
+ *
+ * RuleBasedCollator myCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(en_USCollator + addRules);
+ * // myCollator contains the new rules
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * The following example demonstrates how to change the order of non-spacing
+ * accents:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * // old rule
+ * String oldRules = "= \u00a8 ; \u00af ; \u00bf" + "< a , A ; ae, AE ; \u00e6 , \u00c6"
+ * + "< b , B < c, C < e, E & C < d, D";
+ *
+ * // change the order of accent characters
+ * String addOn = "& \u00bf ; \u00af ; \u00a8;";
+ *
+ * RuleBasedCollator myCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(oldRules + addOn);
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * The last example shows how to put new primary ordering in before the default
+ * setting. For example, in the Japanese {@code Collator}, you can either sort
+ * English characters before or after Japanese characters:
+ * <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * // get en_US Collator rules
+ * RuleBasedCollator en_USCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)
+ * Collator.getInstance(Locale.US);
+ *
+ * // add a few Japanese character to sort before English characters
+ * // suppose the last character before the first base letter 'a' in
+ * // the English collation rule is \u30A2
+ * String jaString = "& \u30A2 , \u30FC < \u30C8";
+ *
+ * RuleBasedCollator myJapaneseCollator =
+ * new RuleBasedCollator(en_USCollator.getRules() + jaString);
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>

+ * <h4>Examples Using the US Locale</h4> <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * Format Pattern Result
+ * -------------- -------
+ * "yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss vvvv" → 1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 Pacific Time
+ * "EEE, MMM d, ''yy" → Wed, July 10, '96
+ * "h:mm a" → 12:08 PM
+ * "hh 'o''clock' a, zzzz" → 12 o'clock PM, Pacific Daylight Time
+ * "K:mm a, vvv" → 0:00 PM, PT
+ * "yyyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa" → 01996.July.10 AD 12:08 PM
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote> <h4>Code Sample:</h4> <blockquote>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * SimpleTimeZone pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, "PST");
+ * pdt.setStartRule(Calendar.APRIL, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
+ * pdt.setEndRule(Calendar.OCTOBER, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
+ *
+ * // Format the current time.
+ * SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
+ * "yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss a zzz");
+ * Date currentTime_1 = new Date();
+ * String dateString = formatter.format(currentTime_1);
+ *
+ * // Parse the previous string back into a Date.
+ * ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
+ * Date currentTime_2 = formatter.parse(dateString, pos);
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * In the example, the time value {@code currentTime_2} obtained from parsing
+ * will be equal to {@code currentTime_1}. However, they may not be equal if the
+ * am/pm marker 'a' is left out from the format pattern while the
+ * "hour in am/pm" pattern symbol is used. This information loss can happen when
+ * formatting the time in PM.
+ * <p>
+ * When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern ("yy"), {@code
+ * SimpleDateFormat} must interpret the abbreviated year relative to some
+ * century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within 80 years before and 20
+ * years after the time the {@code SimpleDateFormat} instance is created. For
+ * example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a {@code SimpleDateFormat}
+ * instance created on Jan 1, 1997, the string "01/11/12" would be interpreted
+ * as Jan 11, 2012 while the string "05/04/64" would be interpreted as May 4,
+ * 1964. During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, as
+ * defined by {@link java.lang.Character#isDigit(char)}, will be parsed into the
+ * default century. Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a
+ * three or more digit string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for
+ * example, "-1"), is interpreted literally. So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are
+ * parsed, using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD. Likewise, "01/02/-3" is
+ * parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.
+ * <p>
+ * If the year pattern does not have exactly two 'y' characters, the year is
+ * interpreted literally, regardless of the number of digits. So using the
+ * pattern "MM/dd/yyyy", "01/11/12" parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D.
+ * <p>
+ * When numeric fields are adjacent directly, with no intervening delimiter
+ * characters, they constitute a run of adjacent numeric fields. Such runs are
+ * parsed specially. For example, the format "HHmmss" parses the input text
+ * "123456" to 12:34:56, parses the input text "12345" to 1:23:45, and fails to
+ * parse "1234". In other words, the leftmost field of the run is flexible,
+ * while the others keep a fixed width. If the parse fails anywhere in the run,
+ * then the leftmost field is shortened by one character, and the entire run is
+ * parsed again. This is repeated until either the parse succeeds or the
+ * leftmost field is one character in length. If the parse still fails at that
+ * point, the parse of the run fails.
+ * <p>
+ * For time zones that have no names, use the strings "GMT+hours:minutes" or
+ * "GMT-hours:minutes".
+ * <p>
+ * The calendar defines the first day of the week, the first week of the year,
+ * whether hours are zero based or not (0 vs. 12 or 24) and the time zone. There
+ * is one common decimal format to handle all the numbers; the digit count is
+ * handled programmatically according to the pattern.
+ * <h4>Synchronization</h4> Date formats are not synchronized. It is recommended
+ * to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads
+ * access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.
