More info from Oracle.

We are trying to input Japanese characters using IME. Our code for displaying
Japanese Kanji characters worked fine with JDK 1.1FCS, but from JDK 1.1.1FCS
onwards, it has been broken. The problem is that in JDK 1.1.x, the KEY_TYPED
event is not being generated by the AWT when Kanji characters are being input
thru IME. With JDK 1.1, a KEY_TYPED event would be generated for each of the
Kanji characters.

JDK version: 1.1.1FCS (can also be reproduced with 1.1.2FCS, 1.1.3B, 1.1.3E)
The problem does NOT occur with JDK 1.1FCS.
 
OS: Windows NT 4.0 Workstation
 

Sample code (attached as well):
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
IMETest.java
Test case for the JDK 1.1.1 bug with IME on Windows NT 4.0.
 
Bug:
AWT Component events are not being sent properly in JDK 1.1.1
when you try to input Japanese Kanji characters thru IME
on Windows NT 4.0.
 
How to run the test:
Run IMETest.class. A blank window will be displayed.
Type some characters using IME.
Watch the System output for info on what KeyEvent is
being delivered to the Canvas.
When you type some Kanji into IME and hit the final input
confirmation key (i.e. Enter),
- with JDK 1.1, you will get a KEY_TYPED event
for each Kanji character.
- with JDK 1.1.1, you get *no* KEY_TYPED events
for the Kanji characters.
You will not see any output inside the window;
refer to the System output.

On the solaris version, it didn't work even if it was on JDK1.1.
