Can't get armenian months names

I want to print armenian month names but it doesn't work. This is my code:

Locale loc = new Locale("hy");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(loc);
System.out.println(cal.getDisplayName(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.LONG_STANDALONE, loc));

I have tried many others abbreviation like "hye" or "arm", but nothing works. Other language such as russian "ru" work fine. I have no idee what i'm doing wrong

After browsing Oracles Website I've found a list of supported languages and Locale_IDs. As it seems the language you want is not supported by JDK7 Locale.

There was an enhancement in JDK8 wherein the CLDR's XML-based locale data has been incorporated into the JDK 8 release, however it is disabled by default. So, if you run your code with the argument -Djava.locale.providers=CLDR or add the same through the java.locale.providers System.property in your code, hy: Armenian hy_AM: Armenian will be supported.

With JDK 9 enhancements , CLDR locale data is enabled by default. So, the code will run without adding any system property. Hope this helps.

With the following code you can print out all supported Calendar locales (sorted by languageTag):

Locale[] locales = Calendar.getAvailableLocales();
Arrays.sort(locales, Comparator.comparing(Locale::toLanguageTag));
for (Locale locale : locales)
    System.out.print(" " + locale.toLanguageTag());

Unfortunately, in my Oracle Java 8, there is no Armenian locale (beginning with "hy") in this list.

Edit:

With Oracle Java 8 and additional option -Djava.locale.providers=CLDR as suggested in Pallavi's answer the resulting list contains the Armenian locale ("hy"):

The answer of @Pallavi is correct for Java-8 and Java-9.

However, if you are on Java-7, then you could set up your own DateFormatSymbolsProvider specialized for Armenian language via the service loader mechanism.

You will need a file within META-INF/services-subdirectory like with exactly this name:

META-INF/services/java.text.spi.DateFormatSymbolsProvider

And the content of this file should contain a line like this (please adjust the names to your real implementation class of service provider mentioned above):

mypackage.MyImplementationOfDateFormatSymbolsProvider

As soon as you have created an appropriate jar-library with this META-INF-substructure included, the new service provider for Armenian will be queried, too.

About the required text resources, I have imported the CLDR-v30-resources into my own library Time4J. Maybe you can take profit from the resource file for Armenian (also containing standalone-forms for month names) and use a part of the content for your own service provider.

This language is not supported, but you can create your own locale by following this guide.

This is the javadoc of Locale.Builder

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Locale.Builder.html
