java interpreter does not honor LC_CTYPE or LC_MESSAGES

[Per Ångström]

My locale is this:
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=en
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.utf8
LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8
LC_COLLATE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
LC_PAPER=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NAME=sv_SE.utf8
LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.utf8
LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=sv_SE.utf8
LC_ALL=

I therefore expect servertool's language to be English. However, this is how it looks:
-----------------
Välkommen till Java IDL Server Tool
skriv kommandona vid prompten

servertool >
-----------------

In other words, it's in Swedish.

It looks like it uses LC_CTYPE, which I think is wrong.

why do you guess at LC_CTYPE, and not, e.g. LC_MESSAGES?
please check yourself, which var triggers

Actually, I did experiment changing LC_CTYPE to something else, and got
another language, so I shouldn't have been so vague.

By the way, my LC_MESSAGES is en_US.utf8.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

starting with
  LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=de_DE servertool
starts in english, but adding the encoding ".utf8" does give the wrong result

This is the same for any Java application that I launch (the jitsi VoIP client, for example).
