Java needs a programmatic way to iterate through
the keyboard layouts available on the system, and to
choose a particular one.

Here's a common usage scenario.
An Arabic application contains a form with several text entry fields. Field A accepts only Latin text and field B accepts only Arabic text. To save the users the effort of switching their keyboards manually, the app would like to automatically change the keyboard to a Latin layout when field A has the focus and change the keyboard to an Arabic layout when field B has the focus.
