On both Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 whether ja or ja_JP_PCK locale,
InputContext.selctInputMethod(Locale.JAPANESE) returns false.

To reproduce it, please compile and run attached program "InputMethodTest2.java".
When a button below in the window is pushed, this program is expected to print true and to be able to input KATAKANA.
On Windows, it works correctly.
But results on Solaris are following.
