/**
 * <code>InputMethodManager</code> is an abstract class that manages the input
 * method environment of JVM. There is only one <code>InputMethodManager</code>
 * instance in JVM that is executed under a separate daemon thread.
 * <code>InputMethodManager</code> performs the following:
 * <UL>
 * <LI>
 * Keeps track of the current input context.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * Provides a user interface to switch input methods and notifies the current
 * input context about changes made from the user interface.</LI>
 * </UL>
 *
 * The mechanism for supporting input method switch is as follows. (Note that
 * this may change in future releases.)
 *
 * <UL>
 * <LI>
 * One way is to use platform-dependent window manager's menu (known as the <I>Window
 * menu </I>in Motif and the <I>System menu</I> or <I>Control menu</I> in
 * Win32) on each window which is popped up by clicking the left top box of
 * a window (known as <I>Window menu button</I> in Motif and <I>System menu
 * button</I> in Win32). This happens to be common in both Motif and Win32.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * When more than one input method descriptor can be found or the only input
 * method descriptor found supports multiple locales, a menu item
 * is added to the window (manager) menu. This item label is obtained invoking
 * <code>getTriggerMenuString()</code>. If null is returned by this method, it
 * means that there is only input method or none in the environment. Frame and Dialog
 * invoke this method.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * This menu item means a trigger switch to the user to pop up a selection
 * menu.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * When the menu item of the window (manager) menu has been selected by the
 * user, Frame/Dialog invokes <code>notifyChangeRequest()</code> to notify
 * <code>InputMethodManager</code> that the user wants to switch input methods.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * <code>InputMethodManager</code> displays a pop-up menu to choose an input method.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * <code>InputMethodManager</code> notifies the current <code>InputContext</code> of
 * the selected <code>InputMethod</code>.</LI>
 * </UL>
 *
 * <UL>
 * <LI>
 * The other way is to use user-defined hot key combination to show the pop-up menu to
 * choose an input method.  This is useful for the platforms which do not provide a
 * way to add a menu item in the window (manager) menu.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * When the hot key combination is typed by the user, the component which has the input
 * focus invokes <code>notifyChangeRequestByHotKey()</code> to notify
 * <code>InputMethodManager</code> that the user wants to switch input methods.</LI>
 *
 * <LI>
 * This results in a popup menu and notification to the current input context,
 * as above.</LI>
 * </UL>
