Location of ThaiInputMethod in JDK7

[Donald McLean]

This is a problem that has been plaguing me for years. It has affected 
me on 5 different Macs (2 Mac Pros, 1 MacBook Pro, 1 iMac, 1 Mac Mini), 
Leopard, Snow Leopard and now Lion.

I don't know the cause, but the symptom is that running a Swing app, the 
app suffers from all kinds of odd behaviors (keyboard shortcuts not 
working, windows not responding to mouse events) and I was finally able 
to isolate the problem to something that causes the app to want the Thai 
input method and throwing an exception when it doesn't find it.

So in the past, I just install the Thai input method and forget about 
it. Well, I'm still having the problem (tried 7.0u4 and the 7.0u6 
preview) except that now there's no Thai input method to be found.

The IT department at my office was never able to find the root of the 
problem either.

Thank you,

Donald
