Hi Ken,
I am currently running Fedora Core 4 and use Java (jdk 1.5 from Sun)
frequently with Japanese. I had the same setup running under Fedora
Core 3, and didn't have any problems. I did have to edit the
font.properties file to make Java pick a nice Japanese font for display,
but it seems like I've had to do that for every OS that try to get
Japanese and Java working on.
When I start my Java programs I need to start them with:
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS="@im=htt" java ....
in order to activate the henkan engine. I don't think there is any
way around that. I also have to ensure that "iiimx" is running, which
is the htt IIIM bridge. For the one Java program that I need to accept
Japanese input, I wrote a little script that does this:
killall iiimx
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 iiimx &
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS="@im=htt"
/opt/jdk1.5.0_04/jre/javaws/javaws
/home/devans/.java/deployment/cache/javaws/http/Dfugutabetai.com/P80/DMsoftware/DMGMAO/DMcode/DMbug/AMGMAO.jnlp
&
to get everything running.
Hope that helps. I know I asked about Java and Japanese input maybe a
year or two back. I haven't looked into it after that since I have been
able to make do with this.

Can someone point me to specific items in mail archives
or elsewhere or just give me their own feedback
about how jdk5 works with fedora 3 to display multibyte
like from ja and zh_CN and zh_TW locales ?
(and if there are any problems with that)
Also, are there any issues with using IM from java programs
that run under jdk5 ?
Thanks - Ken
