Accent problem in Java:

import java.awt.*;
public class Test extends Frame
{
    public static void main(String argv[])
    {
        new Test();
    }

    public Test()
    {
        add("Center", new TextField(10));
        pack();
        setVisible(true);
    }
}


In Denmark we use dead keys for making chars like
an 'e' with an '´' above (if you can read the
char then thats an 'é'). So when I press '´'
nothing happends until I press 'e'. And then I get
my char ('e´'). That is how it should be.

BUT on my JDK1.1.4, JDK1.1.5, JDK1.2b2 it kind of
works. I have to press the two keys VERY FAST
after one another (like within 1/20 of a second).
If Im too slow I just get an 'e'. In all my other
Windows programs where is no problem. I can press
'´' wait for as long as I want and then 'e' and
still get my 'e´'.

To be able to do this right is of real importance
to my. I am coding a db-userinterface for
TeleDanmark (the danish phone company) and for
Cisco
