EVALUATION See evaluation and comments for jdk7. Fix is, move the annoying printout under #ifdef DEBUG.

EVALUATION AWT builds a keymap table for converting Windows VKey to Java KeyEvent, which assumes 1 to 1 matching. However, the keytop for VK_B in Arabic keyboard layout actually produces two WM_CHARs (Lam and Alef), thus the debug message is displayed. Transferring this to the AWT for further implementation discussion.
