Description
Create an application to explore the available locales included in the standard Java Development Kit.
The main specifications of the application are:
Compulsory (1p)
- Create a package with the name res. Inside this package create the files: Messages.properties, Messages_ro.properties.
#Messages_ro.properties file
#Messages.properties file prompt = Comanda ta:
prompt = Input command: locales = Localizarile disponibile
locales = The available locales sunt:
are: locale.set = Localizarea curenta
locale.set = The current locale este {0}
is {0} info = Informatii despre localizarea

- Create the package com and implement the following classes describing commands:
- DisplayLocales: to display all available locales o SetLocale: to set the application current locale.
- Info: to display informations about the current or a specific locale. When the user sets a specific language tag, various information obtained using standard Java classes such as Currency or DateFormatSymbols should be displayed in a text area, as in the following example:
- Country: Romania (România)
- Language: Romanian (română)
- Currency: RON (Romanian Leu)
- Week Days: luni, marţi, miercuri, joi, vineri, sâmbătă, duminică
- Months: ianuarie, februarie, martie, aprilie, mai, iunie, iulie, august, septembrie, octombrie, noiembrie, decembrie
- Today: May 8, 2016 (8 mai 2016)
- Create the package app and the main class LocaleExplore. Inside this class, read commands from the keyboard and execute them.
- All the locale-sensitive information should be translated in at least two languages (english-default and romanian), using the resource files.
