Hi,

I wanna allow the user of my application to change the language independently of those set by system. I set the locate

Locale.setDefault(Locale.UK);

according to the selection of user. All numbers I display and parse use a NumberFormatter using the locale - works.
BUT the SWT-spinner does not. It changes behavior using "." or "," as decimal separator for floats when changing systems language, only. But it does NOT if I change the locate in JVM, only. I know that SWT uses many of OS provided functions, but is there any way to get the expected behavior?

Thx

Thomas
