I am writing an application using Swing.
The application is in Hebrew (written from right to left).
I am using the method:
"setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT)"
in order to get a right alignment of the component.
In some components it works (JTree,JTextField,JList) but
in other it is not (JTable,JComboBox).
Here is a piece of code demonstrating the JTable problem:
(The weird chars are hebrew chars)

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.*;


public class HebTable extends JApplet {
  JTable t = null;
  JButton b = null;
  String []ColumnNames = {"??","????","?????","?????"};
  Object rowData[][] = {
     {"????","12","12-11-1997",new Boolean(true)},
{"???","13","12-11-1997",new Boolean(true)},
{"????","14","12-11-1997",new Boolean(false)},
{"????","15","12-11-1997",new Boolean(true)}
  };
  public void init() {
    Container c = this.getContentPane();
  t = new JTable(rowData,ColumnNames);
b = new JButton("Change RTL mode");
b.addActionListener(new ButtonListener());
    b.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
t.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
c.add(t.getTableHeader(),BorderLayout.NORTH);
c.add(t);
c.add(b,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
  }
  private void switchOrientation() {
     if(t.getComponentOrientation() == ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT)
t.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
     else
t.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
     System.out.println((t.getComponentOrientation() ==
ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT) ? "RIGHT_TO_LEFT" : "NOT RIGHT_TO_LEFT") ;
  }

  class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
switchOrientation();
}
  
  }
}
