Question

I’m looking for a set of command line parameters that will allow me to force a specific set of locale settings for a java application.

Let’s say that I’m not able to modify the application, so I have to set the properties using java -Dmy.prop="value".

I’m looking specially to change the date/time format to make it ISO-8601 compliant (military time), but I was not able to find the proper properties for this.

Answer 1

Nice, i was interested about the same thing but so far I have only a partial solution:

user.timezone=UTC
user.country=CA
user.variant=
user.language=en
file.encoding=utf8

You can use Canada, because it one of the countries using the ISO 8601 format.
