[oXygen-user] oXygen and Java Input Methods for Unicode

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello Ken,

Java input methods are supported in <oXygen/>. Just make sure you set 
the path to the directory with the input method jars correctly in the 
startup script using the -Djava.ext.dirs parameter. When <oXygen/> is 
started up activate the input method from the System menu of the 
<oXygen/> window (click on the icon on the title bar or press Alt+Space 
to see the System menu), the Select Input Method entry of the menu. Also 
use the correct shortcut to trigger the input method window.


Best regards,
Sorin
