rev 7221 : imported patch 8013903

*** 126,135 ****
--- 126,143 ----
   * </pre>
   * where "SPI" represents the locale sensitive services implemented in the
   * installed SPI providers, and "JRE" represents the locale sensitive services
   * in the Java Runtime Environment, the locale sensitive services in the SPI
   * providers are looked up first.
+  * <p>
+  * There are two other possible locale sensitive service providers, i.e., "CLDR"
+  * which is a provider based on Unicode Consortium's
+  * <a href="http://cldr.unicode.org/">CLDR Project</a>, and "HOST" which is a
+  * provider that reflects the user's custom settings in the underlying operating
+  * system. These two providers may not be available, depending on the Java Runtime
+  * Environment implementation. Specifying "JRE,SPI" is identical to the default
+  * behavior, which is compatibile with the prior releases.
   *
   * @since        1.6
