Compile and run JFrameTest.java

Comments
EVALUATION The text in question is part of the top-level window, and controlled by the native OS. This is an issue to be dealt with either by AWT or i18n. Giving i18n the first crack at it. ###@###.### 2004-03-10 As Shannon said the "Frame" is out of our control, if the underlying platform does support it, java can do nothing, this is why we are not offically supporting devanageri for awt components. The only locale devanagari is support on Solaris is hi_IN.UTF8, so if you want Devanagari fully supported, run the app in that locale on Solaris. ###@###.### 2004-03-11
