How to get the overridden currency symbol from the Windows?
How in Java to get the current(overridden) currency symbol from the Windows?
As you know t is possible in Windows (Control Panel->Region->Additional Settings->Currency) change currency symbol to the new one.
For example default is '$' and customer change it to the '€'
And programs (Excel for example) use this new currency symbol, i.e instead of $100 you see €100.
I need emulate similar behavior in Java.

Look at Utils.getCurrencySymbol() and see if that works for you.
Or maybe:
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().getCurrency().g etSymbol()
I don't know what these will do in Windows 7. Maybe you'll let us know.
