Class UCACollator

java.lang.Object

java.text.Collator

com.saxonica.expr.sort.UCACollator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Comparator<Object>

public class UCACollator
extends Collator

Created by jwl on 12/02/14.

Note that in the case that the ICU libraries have not been loaded, then this class is not instantiated. However, the public static functions, e.g. getLocales() could in theory be accessed via an XSLT stylesheet (such as the documentation generators for example) and these invoke ICU features The guard function com.saxonica.config.JavaPlatformPE.hasICUCollator() can be used to check.
