[Bug classpath/22685] java.text.RuleBasedCollator is incomplete

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The constructor will throw ParseException if you try to
use a rules string that uses '&' (reset), '@' (french
accents backwards), or quoting.

This means that we cannot fully implement the collation
rules for a number of languages, including English.

I have added testcases to Mauve for parsing of rules
involving the missing functionality, and also for
the behaviour of much of it.

RuleBasedCollator implemented by the attached patch. Includes also a major
update for CollationElementIterator.

Features still missing:
* '!' modifier
* reversed sorting for some special expansion ordering case
* CollationElementIterator.getMaxExpansion not implemented

Updated the previous patch to the current CVS.

The attached patch is in CVS as I just checked. Is there still missing stuff ?

There are still minor missing features/bugs in RuleBasedCollator. This will be
fixed when I/someone has some time free for it.

All current Mauve tests pass with Classpath CVS HEAD + Jamvm.  Can someone
confirm which features are still missing from java.text.RuleBasedCollator?
