How do I set the default locale in the JVM?

Question

I want to set the default Locale for my JVM to fr_CA. What are the possible options to do this?

I know of only one option Locale.setD

Answer 1

There is another away if you don't like to change System locale but the JVM. you can setup a System (or user) Environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and set its value to -Duser.language=en-US or any other language-REGION you want.
