SmartGWT 3.1p DateItem Bug (Locale PT-BR)

[kiipper]

There's a bug in the DateItem Calendar widget for pt-BR locale.

The values for column (Thursday) were replaced by column (Wednesday).
The values for column (Monday) were replaced by column (Friday)

English to Portuguese Translation: [weekName (shortWeekName)]
Sunday (Su) = Domingo (Dom)
Monday (Mo) = Segunda (Seg)
Tuesday (Tu) = Terça (Ter)
Wednesday (We) = Quarta (Qua)
Thursday (Th) = Quinta (Qui)
Friday (Fr) = Sexta (Sex)
Saturday (Sa) = Sábado (Sab)

Using: SmartGWT3.1d (night build of 2012-11-07)
WebBrowser: Any

This might be happening in other languages also.

Workaround

Hi people!

I already found a workaround for this issue.

But first, a few explanations:

1) The problem is NOT in DateItem, it's acutally on the DateChooser used in when the DateItem is edited.

2) The I18N file is already fixed for pt_BR (check SmartGWTMessages.properties file)

3) Was found on SmartGWT3.1d (since SmartGWT3.1p does not exists yet)

Now, for the workaround.
Fortunally, the DateChooser widget have a very useful method to set default properties.

DateChooser dateChooser3 = new DateChooser();
dateChooser3.setDayNameLength(3);        
DateChooser.setDefaultProperties(dateChooser3);

Now, every DateChooser will render the right values for each day.

NOTE:
It might be good to set the default dayNameLength for the DateChooser to 3 instead of 2, so nobody else will have this kind of problem.
