JavaTM Foundation Classes and
Internationalization
The Java platform includes several client-side APIs which facilitate the
rapid development of robust, industrial strength applications that can be
deployed globally. These include the JavaTM
Foundation Classes (JFC) and Swing, as well as a rich set of capabilities
that enable globalization of software.

The first part of this session gives a brief introduction to JFC/Swing. It also covers
their latest features and upcoming enhancements such as input validation,
the new HTML and Text components, and Accessibility support in AWT components.
A product roadmap will be provided.
The second part of this session provides a technical overview of the
internationalization support for the JavaTM
2 platform. The overview includes information on supported locales, new
features such as input method framework and complex text rendering
capability in the JavaTM 2 SDK, and a
roadmap for future internationalization support.
