title: Java 7 default locale
body: <p>I have just installed jre7 and I'm surprised to see that my default locale is now en_US. With jre6 it was de_CH.</p>
  
  <p>What is different with jre7? Is the default locale no more the one of the Operating System? (btw, I'm using Windows7)</p>
  
  <p>Thx for your answer. </p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  I have seen the Locale for <strong>Category.FORMAT</strong> is the "old" one (de_CH). The Locale for <strong>Category.DISPLAY</strong> takes the language from the language of the OS (in Windows this is done in Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboard and Languages > Display Language) and the contry from...?</p>
  
  <p>What seems to be different is the property "<strong>user.country</strong>". With Java6 I get "CH" and with Java7 I get "US".</p>
