10.4 Java NLS Support<br />

Prior to <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>Version</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>, Java <strong>Version</strong> 1.02 was shipped with <strong>AIX</strong>. In <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>Version</strong><br />

<strong>4.3</strong>, Java <strong>Version</strong> 1.11 is shipped as part of the base operating system.<br />

The previous version of Java (1.02) had virtually no national language support<br />

(Java 1.02 only really has support for the English language). However, Java 1.1 is<br />

NLS enabled for the G7 countries: France, the United States, U.K., Germany,<br />

Japan, Italy and Canada. Currently, there is no support within Java 1.1 for<br />

bidirectional languages. All of the locale support within Java is based on Unicode.<br />

Below is a summary of the Java 1.1 NLS support:<br />

• Locale support<br />

– Character types based on Unicode 2.0<br />

– Date, time, number, and currency formatting<br />

– Collation<br />

• External character sets<br />

– Font handling<br />

– Use OS-provided input methods<br />

– Message handling<br />

– Printing support<br />

– Text line-break<br />
