Summary: RelativeDateFormatTests is locale dependent

Initial Comment:
Just a minor thing, but tests shouldn't depend on the locale they are executed in.
RelativeDateFormatTests.testFormat() is locale dependet.

Modifying the test to save and restore the locale would do the trick:

    public void testFormat() {
        // save the default locale and set a new one
        final Locale oldLocale = Locale.getDefault();
        Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);

        RelativeDateFormat rdf = new RelativeDateFormat();
        String s = rdf.format(new Date(2 * 60L * 60L * 1000L + 122500L));
        assertEquals("2h2m2.500s", s);

        // restore the old default locale
        Locale.setDefault(oldLocale);
    }
