059 * Provides a context for controlling input methods and keyboard layouts.
060 * This class provides the communication layer between the client component,
061 * and the various locale-dependent text entry input methods that can be used
062 * for the client. By default, there is one instance per Window, shared among
063 * all components, but this limits text entry to one component at a time.
064 * Thus, text components can create their own instance to allow text entry
065 * in multiple components at a time.
066 *
067 * <p>By using the interfaces of {@link java.awt.im.spi}, you can install
068 * extensions which allow additional input methods. Some of these may use
069 * platform native input methods, or keyboard layouts provided by the platform.
070 * Input methods are unavailable if none have been installed and the platform
071 * has no underlying native input methods. Extensions are installed as jar
072 * files, usually accessed in the default extension location or specified by
073 * the -extdir VM flag. The jar must contain a file named
074 * "META_INF/services/java.awt.im.spi.InputMethodDescriptor" which lists,
075 * one entry per line in UTF-8 encoding, each class in the jar that implements
076 * java.awt.im.spi.InputMethodDescriptor.
