DatePicker now starting with Monday, used to be Sunday

[Dan]

My DatePicker in my program used to start with Sunday, but since some
time recently--I don't know when--it has been starting with Monday.

I've done nothing in this area.

What do I do to get it back to starting with Sunday?

[Ben Imp]

I experienced this as well. I noticed it right after I upgraded to
GWT 2.1, so I assume that must have done it. I've ignored it so far,
as no one in my organization seems to care, but I must admit, I am
curious as to the cause.

Yes, same here. But what's even more puzzling is that if you run
showcase (as in compile it from the dist. samples directory), the
datepicker there starts on Sunday!

Been digging all over, but can't seem to figure out what/where the
setting is.

Are you using the default locale?  I'm pretty sure that the start of week info comes from the CDLR locale data, which we update periodically from some open source resource.  Showcase uses the "en" locale, which starts on Sunday.  If you switch the app to French, you'll see it starts on Monday (L = Lundi = Monday in French).

You can try adding the following lines to your gwt.xml file as a workaround:

  <extend-property name="locale" values="en"/>

  <set-property-fallback name="locale" value="en"/>

@jat - Did the start of the week change for the default locale after some recent CDLR update?

Thanks,

Yes, more of the world's population uses Monday as the first day of the week, so we use that for "default".  Previously, most "default" values were from "en".

As you suggest, you really should always be running a GWT app in a real locale if possible, rather than "default" -- it should truly be the last resort if you have nothing better to match.

Adding those two lines to the gwt.xml file does the job.

However, now my compiles make 10 permutations, rather than 5. Is there
a way to get that back to 5 permutations?

Add a third line:

<set-property name="locale" value="en"/>

Thank you Thomas (and others). It is all working well now.
