Foil 7 Java Language Internationalization

From Overview of JDK Version 1.1 Extensions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken
1 There is a new class Locale which can be used in Java code so that one Java program, a "global program", can be written which uses different character sets, time, date and currency formatting depending on where it is run.
  • Implements UniCODE 2.0 for character sets
  • Internationalization makes small changes in various classes such as String, Properties, Exceptions, System and Runtime.
  • At JavaOne conference, Gosling remarks that majority of bytes of new stuff in JDK 1.1 is for new conversion tables for internationalization. Much of this was incorporated from IBM and Taligent.
