    31  * <p>
       
    32  * This is the super class of all the locale sensitive service provider
       
    33  * interfaces (SPIs).
       
    34  * <p>
       
    35  * Locale sensitive  service provider interfaces are interfaces that
       
    36  * correspond to locale sensitive classes in the <code>java.text</code>
       
    37  * and <code>java.util</code> packages. The interfaces enable the
       
    38  * construction of locale sensitive objects and the retrieval of
       
    39  * localized names for these packages. Locale sensitive factory methods
       
    40  * and methods for name retrieval in the <code>java.text</code> and
       
    41  * <code>java.util</code> packages use implementations of the provider
       
    42  * interfaces to offer support for locales beyond the set of locales
       
    43  * supported by the Java runtime environment itself.
       
    44  *
       
    45  * <h3>Packaging of Locale Sensitive Service Provider Implementations</h3>
       
    46  * Implementations of these locale sensitive services are packaged using the
       
    47  * <a href="../../../../technotes/guides/extensions/index.html">Java Extension Mechanism</a>
       
    48  * as installed extensions.  A provider identifies itself with a
       
    49  * provider-configuration file in the resource directory META-INF/services,
       
    50  * using the fully qualified provider interface class name as the file name.
       
    51  * The file should contain a list of fully-qualified concrete provider class names,
       
    52  * one per line. A line is terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage
       
    53  * return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a line feed. Space
       
    54  * and tab characters surrounding each name, as well as blank lines, are ignored.
       
    55  * The comment character is '#' ('\u0023'); on each line all characters following
       
    56  * the first comment character are ignored. The file must be encoded in UTF-8.
       
    57  * <p>
       
    58  * If a particular concrete provider class is named in more than one configuration
       
    59  * file, or is named in the same configuration file more than once, then the
       
    60  * duplicates will be ignored. The configuration file naming a particular provider
       
    61  * need not be in the same jar file or other distribution unit as the provider itself.
       
    62  * The provider must be accessible from the same class loader that was initially
       
    63  * queried to locate the configuration file; this is not necessarily the class loader
       
    64  * that loaded the file.
       
    65  * <p>
       
    66  * For example, an implementation of the
       
    67  * {@link java.text.spi.DateFormatProvider DateFormatProvider} class should
       
    68  * take the form of a jar file which contains the file:
       
    69  * <pre>
       
    70  * META-INF/services/java.text.spi.DateFormatProvider
       
    71  * </pre>
       
    72  * And the file <code>java.text.spi.DateFormatProvider</code> should have
       
    73  * a line such as:
       
    74  * <pre>
       
    75  * <code>com.foo.DateFormatProviderImpl</code>
       
    76  * </pre>
       
    77  * which is the fully qualified class name of the class implementing
       
    78  * <code>DateFormatProvider</code>.
       
    79  * <h4>Invocation of Locale Sensitive Services</h4>
       
    80  * <p>
       
    81  * Locale sensitive factory methods and methods for name retrieval in the
       
    82  * <code>java.text</code> and <code>java.util</code> packages invoke
       
    83  * service provider methods when needed to support the requested locale.
       
    84  * The methods first check whether the Java runtime environment itself
       
    85  * supports the requested locale, and use its support if available.
       
    86  * Otherwise, they call the {@link #isSupportedLocale(Locale) isSupportedLocale}
       
    87  * methods of installed providers for the appropriate interface to find one that
       
    88  * supports the requested locale. If such a provider is found, its other
       
    89  * methods are called to obtain the requested object or name.  When checking
       
    90  * whether a locale is supported, the <a href="../Locale.html#def_extensions">
       
    91  * locale's extensions</a> are ignored by default. (If locale's extensions should
       
    92  * also be checked, the {@code isSupportedLocale} method must be overridden.)
       
    93  * If neither the Java runtime environment itself nor an installed provider
       
    94  * supports the requested locale, the methods go through a list of candidate
       
    95  * locales and repeat the availability check for each until a match is found.
       
    96  * The algorithm used for creating a list of candidate locales is same as
       
    97  * the one used by <code>ResourceBundle</code> by default (see
       
    98  * {@link java.util.ResourceBundle.Control#getCandidateLocales getCandidateLocales}
       
    99  * for the details).  Even if a locale is resolved from the candidate list,
       
   100  * methods that return requested objects or names are invoked with the original
       
   101  * requested locale including {@code Locale} extensions. The Java runtime
       
   102  * environment must support the root locale for all locale sensitive services in
       
   103  * order to guarantee that this process terminates.
       
   104  * <p>
       
   105  * Providers of names (but not providers of other objects) are allowed to
       
   106  * return null for some name requests even for locales that they claim to
       
   107  * support by including them in their return value for
       
   108  * <code>getAvailableLocales</code>. Similarly, the Java runtime
       
   109  * environment itself may not have all names for all locales that it
       
   110  * supports. This is because the sets of objects for which names are
       
   111  * requested can be large and vary over time, so that it's not always
       
   112  * feasible to cover them completely. If the Java runtime environment or a
       
   113  * provider returns null instead of a name, the lookup will proceed as
       
   114  * described above as if the locale was not supported.
       
   115  * <p>
       
   116  * Starting from JDK8, the search order of locale sensitive services can
       
   117  * be configured by using the "java.locale.providers" system property.
       
   118  * This system property declares the user's preferred order for looking up
       
   119  * the locale sensitive services separated by a comma. It is only read at
       
   120  * the Java runtime startup, so the later call to System.setProperty() won't
       
   121  * affect the order.
       
   122  * <p>
       
   123  * For example, if the following is specified in the property:
       
   124  * <pre>
       
   125  * java.locale.providers=SPI,JRE
       
   126  * </pre>
       
   127  * where "SPI" represents the locale sensitive services implemented in the
       
   128  * installed SPI providers, and "JRE" represents the locale sensitive services
       
   129  * in the Java Runtime Environment, the locale sensitive services in the SPI
       
   130  * providers are looked up first.
       
   131  * <p>
       
   132  * There are two other possible locale sensitive service providers, i.e., "CLDR"
       
   133  * which is a provider based on Unicode Consortium's
       
   134  * <a href="http://cldr.unicode.org/">CLDR Project</a>, and "HOST" which is a
       
   135  * provider that reflects the user's custom settings in the underlying operating
       
   136  * system. These two providers may not be available, depending on the Java Runtime
       
   137  * Environment implementation. Specifying "JRE,SPI" is identical to the default
       
   138  * behavior, which is compatibile with the prior releases.
       
   139  *
