Change language of generated JavaDoc in Eclipse

Question

My Eclipse 2024-12 runs on a macOS with the default locale of de_CH, but for a project, I need to generate the JavaDoc in english. The Eclipse export has the following settings:

but the generated Javadoc is still in the language de_CH.

There are no errors shown while generating the HTML files.

What did I wrong?

This might be a bug of the JDK containing the javadoc executable you use: bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8222793 Please try whether -locale en_US is working on the command line. — howlger

See especially the comment "While this issue appears to be fixed on 17, there seems to be a regression on 20/21.", which I can confirm. — howlger

But the workaround with setting the system properties instead of the options works fine:

Thanks for your help!
