/**
 * Provides methods to control text input facilities such as input
 * methods and keyboard layouts.
 * Two methods handle both input methods and keyboard layouts: selectInputMethod
 * lets a client component select an input method or keyboard layout by locale,
 * getLocale lets a client component obtain the locale of the current input method
 * or keyboard layout.
 * The other methods more specifically support interaction with input methods:
 * They let client components control the behavior of input methods, and
 * dispatch events from the client component to the input method.
 *
 * <p>
 * By default, one InputContext instance is created per Window instance,
 * and this input context is shared by all components within the window's
 * container hierarchy. However, this means that only one text input
 * operation is possible at any one time within a window, and that the
 * text needs to be committed when moving the focus from one text component
 * to another. If this is not desired, text components can create their
 * own input context instances.
 *
 * <p>
 * The Java Platform supports input methods that have been developed in the Java
 * programming language, using the interfaces in the {@link java.awt.im.spi} package,
 * which can be made available by adding them to the application's class path.
 * Implementations may also support using the native input methods of the platforms they run on;
 * however, not all platforms and locales provide input methods. Keyboard layouts
 * are provided by the host platform.
 *
 * <p>
 * Input methods are <em>unavailable</em> if (a) no input method written
 * in the Java programming language has been installed and (b) the Java Platform implementation
 * or the underlying platform does not support native input methods. In this case,
 * input contexts can still be created and used; their behavior is specified with
 * the individual methods below.
