<AWT Dev> RFR: 8201429: Support AIX Input Method Editor (IME) for AWT Input Method Framework (IMF)

[Philip Race]

I think I am 99% OK with this.

In general I see what you are doing here and how you've presented the 
webrev.
Treating even the new files as moved helps see the differences but it is 
still
a challenge to follow all the moving pieces.

So before we had just

     abstract class unix/X11InputMethod <-    class unix/XInputMethod

Now we have

                    abstract class unix/X11InputMethodBase

                     /                                \

                    /                                   \

                   /                                      \

                  /                                        \

       abstract class unix/X11InputMethod        abstract class aix/X11InputMethod

                       \                            /
                        \                          /
                         \                        /
                           class unix/XInputMethod



I have submitted a build job with this patch to make sure it all builds 
on Linux & Solaris ..
and it was all fine.

But testing for this would have to be manual, and I don't have cycles 
for that.
So I'll have to accept that the testing done by IBM was enough

So only minor comments ...
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8201429.2/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/awt/X11InputMethodBase.java.sdiff.html

  730         case 0: //None of the value is set by Wnn

"value is " ->  "values are " ?


http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8201429.2/src/java.desktop/unix/native/libawt_xawt/awt/awt_InputMethod.c.sdiff.html

why did you move

   26 #ifdef HEADLESS
   27     #error This file should not be included in headless library
   28 #endif


I think it should be first. It is also missing from the equivalent AIX file but that is
up to you .. I really didn't look any further at the AIX files.

.. and there seems no point to moving around some of the other includes
except to make the webrev harder to read :-)

But good job cleaning up a lot of the formatting of the native code.
