Description

Note: the issue was previously submitted against Flex/Flash Builder: FB-21901.

Steps to reproduce:
1. On a computer with non-US English locale, such as en_CA;
2. Set automatic build on;
3. Create new Flex Project;
3. Make change to project source file, save change. [Which triggers build.]

Actual Results:
Compilation errors generated in Problems view:

• Unable to resolve resource bundle "components" for locale "en_CA".
• Unable to resolve resource bundle "core" for locale "en_CA"

Expected Results:
Compilation on non-US English platform shall work without error.

Workaround (if any):
Change computer locale setting to use en_US (i.e. English - United States).

Note:
(1) This was observed during execution of auto test testTouchMxmlFileTriggerBuild (Test Case ID 853). And it can be reproduced in manual testing.
(2) Tested with latest code – daily update
(3) Quote from Rebecca Hauck: The bug is that we should automatically convert all English locales to en_US under the covers. We will likely never "localize" FB into a dialect of English, so we should be nice to our non-US English-speaking users by making this conversion for them. Please go ahead and log the bug.
(4) some suggestion from Larry McLister: we need to provide a better error. i.e. "No resources available for current locale... " and then some additional text about how to fix it...
