Thaks for your response........
besides the jar file u gave, i have another jar with me.. with that i can write 'TELUGU' language(South Indian)..
what i am asking is...
if i click 'ctrl+alt+h' key i will get one menu in that i can select any one of the context....
i.e. Telugu language application or app given by you(jar)...
i want make my own jar.. that can i appear with those applications...
is the follwing enough to achieve that..
1. two class files, one implenting InputMethodDescriptor and second implenting implements InputMethod.
-> i wrote two classes in above fashion, but i am not getting that the menu with app added...
-> when i extracted jar file given by you, it is haveing services folder and in that it is having file path that implementing InputMethodDescriptor...
-> how to make services folder in the jar file?Since I'm the only one who responded to you on this topic, I can only assume you mean me - unless you think I am someone else who responded to you in one of your other topics I see you've opened. At any rate, I gave you no jarfiles, so I havn't any idea of what you mean by that. I also don't know what you're trying to do - other than, as you said, make a jarfile. But everything else about your question seems unrelated to that question. Also, I've noticed that each or your other topics appears to have been answered - or marked as such - yet you don't seem to have given out any of your duck stars. Lastly, you've not answer me questions posted in my previous post.
