Hi
I am experiencing the exact same problem but have an alternative solution
(am currently using MacOS Leopard):
- Open System Preferences > International > Language.
- Click 'Edit List' > Check 'British English' > OK
- Ensure that 'British English' appears at the top of your list of
Languages.
When you next open Eclipse (or launch a JVM), you should find the
'user.country' property is set to GB.
Not a perfect solution but just thought I'd offer an alternative!
