Well, GTK_IM_MODULE environment is used for gtk2
applications *only*. and right now gimlet (which you saw on the
panel) works for it right now. if you want to use IIIMF for
java, you have two way to use it.
1) java should supports XIM. so you can use IIIMF with
XMODIFIERS=@im=htt. please make sure if httx is
running. httx is a bridge program between XIM and
IIIMF. you can use IIIMF even if the applications is not
gtk2 applications and the applications supports XIM.
Hello Akira, thank you for your help. I have made sure that httx is
running (which starts htt_xbe - I don't know what that is) and started
my Java program with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 (or LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8) and
XMODIFIERS=@im=htt but Java will not recognize the input method.
Running in a Japanese session, it does recognize it just fine though, so
for now I will just log into a Japanese session. I would like to know
why it won't work in an English environment though. If I am running
httx, htt_xbe, cannaserver, htt, and have LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 and
XMODIFIER=@im=htt Java should allow for Japanese input using htt, right?
2) if you can modify your java source code, you can use
iiimjcf to connect to IIIMF directly.
Could you point me to more information about this? I wrote the program
I'm using, so if I can modify it to interact better with the IME I would
like to do so (hopefully to support in-line editing, etc.) The only
information I could find is the main page at:
http://www.openi18n.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=30&page=1
- but I couldn't find any information on an API, any Java libraries I
could include with my code to bind to, etc.
Thanks in advance,
dave
