In a JTextArea, the wrong characters apear when typing. I have not extended the
area nor do I have any KeyListeners. When typing an * I get an ( and so on.
I tried it in Notepad at the same time and there the characters were correct.

This is of course a terrible bug!
Maybe the locale is not read correctly?
I live in Holland.

Can you PLEASE fix this and update RC?

Regional Settings in NT are:
"Regional Settings" = English (Canadian)
"Input Locales" = default: English (United States)
                English (Canadian)
NT 4.0 SP 6a

Launch any Java program with a Swing interface (don't know if it is specific to
Swing) that supports text input. Pressing shift-2 shoud get '@' (at-sign)
instead it gives " (double quote). Similarily shift-3 results in '/' (forward
slash)instead of '#' (number sign)

In Fote for Java CE RC1 pressing the actual '"' key (near 'Enter') will throw
an exception and bring down the whole IDE.

This does not happen on all NT installations. It is happening for me right now
onmy machine at work, but it does not happen on my machine at home. I'm not
certain if the regional settings are the same.

I have attempted to un-install and re-install JDK 1.3.0 RC1, but it had no
effect.

JRE does not correctly reconize my key board, when I type 'Q', 'A' is displayed
for example, this is working fine under 1.2.2.

Here is my window NT configuration:

In Control Panel->RegionaleSetting:
    My Regional Setting is set to French (Standard)
    I got two Input Locales, English (United Kingdom) and French (Standard).
    English is the default input locale because I got a qwerty keyboard.

In fact JRE1.3rc1 consider my keyboard as an azerty even if default input
locale is set to english!!!!
