Hi,
Brahmi(http://brahmi.sf.net) is a multilingual java based editor(for indian languages). indicim.jar(developed by IBM) is a jar file which implements devnagiri input method.
Now to run this editor brahmi all I need to do is java -jar Brahmi.jar and i am able to use hindi in it. Brahmi uses indicim.jar which has to be placed in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ directory.
All jar files placed in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ are like extension libraries and is available to be used by any jar file on your machine. If a jar file is not in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ then one must include it in CLASSPATH.
Now the problem is when I remove indicim.jar from $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext and include it in class path it does not work(editor gives error while initiallizing hindi). I am unable to find the reason but i guess it is becuase of the fact that "all jar files in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ are trusted while others are not completly trusted". Is it so? Is there any workaround.
Actully what i am doing is to make a webpage where in a java applet you will have Brahmi Editor and anyone can visit that page and write anything in hindi and then may be mail it to somebody. It assumes that end-user is non-techie who dont know how to install fonts or how to copy indicim.jar file to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/. Everything else is working except for I have to place indicim.jar in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ for this applet to work.
Anybody having any ideas?
