051/**
052 * This class is the abstract superclass of classes which perform
053 * locale dependent <code>String</code> comparisons.  A caller requests
054 * an instance of <code>Collator</code> for a particular locale using
055 * the <code>getInstance()</code> static method in this class.  That method
056 * will return a locale specific subclass of <code>Collator</code> which
057 * can be used to perform <code>String</code> comparisons for that locale.
058 * If a subclass of <code>Collator</code> cannot be located for a particular
059 * locale, a default instance for the current locale will be returned.
060 *
061 * In addition to setting the correct locale, there are two additional
062 * settings that can be adjusted to affect <code>String</code> comparisons:
063 * strength and decomposition.  The strength value determines the level
064 * of signficance of character differences required for them to sort
065 * differently.  (For example, whether or not capital letters are considered
066 * different from lower case letters).  The decomposition value affects how
067 * variants of the same character are treated for sorting purposes.  (For
068 * example, whether or not an accent is signficant or not).  These settings
069 * are described in detail in the documentation for the methods and values
070 * that are related to them.
