Bug Description
following command line will start java control panel in german
$ LANG=de_DE.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=
expected behaviour is to start java control panel in english. i tested some other combination of LANG and LC_MESSAGES and it seems java control panel only checks for LANG and ignores LC_MESSAGES. i didn't test any other LC_* variables.
for example of a correct behaviour: this command line will start gedit in english, but when you insert date (edit > insert date and time) it will be in german format
$ LANG=de_DE.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=
