All current Mauve tests pass with Classpath CVS HEAD + Jamvm.  Can someone
confirm which features are still missing from java.text.RuleBasedCollator?

The constructor will throw ParseException if you try to
use a rules string that uses '&' (reset), '@' (french
accents backwards), or quoting.

This means that we cannot fully implement the collation
rules for a number of languages, including English.

There are still minor missing features/bugs in RuleBasedCollator. This will
be fixed when I/someone has some time free for it.

The attached patch is in CVS as I just checked. Is there still missing stuff
?

RuleBasedCollator implemented by the attached patch. Includes also a major
update for CollationElementIterator.



Features still missing:

* '!' modifier

* reversed sorting for some special expansion ordering case

* CollationElementIterator.getMaxExpansion not implemented

I have added testcases to Mauve for parsing of rules
involving the missing functionality, and also for
the behaviour of much of it.
