It's not new, but interesting nontheless. Take a look also at

http://www.m17n.org/mule/m17n2000/proceedings/felt/index.htm

It's a presentation given by IBM in the last Multilingual Information
Processing symposium in Japan, about "Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and Thai Support
in IBM's Java 2". The demo they showed seemed like they have a very complete
Hebrew solution, with text widget, selection, and everything you could ask
for. Very interesting.

BiDi built into Java at last?

2000-05-28 Thread Ira Abramov


this was just forwarded to me from Amos Shapira about an event in the
approaching JavaOne. please forward to Ivrix if it's any news (well, it
was for ME)

the URL talks about a session which talks about Hebrew and Arabic
support in the next version of J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) -

"Version 1.3 extends bi-directional text handling to all "JFC/Swing"
text components, and implements component orientation for most
"JFC/Swing" user interface components, thus making it easy to create
products serving Arabic and Hebrew markets."
