Tutorial week 3

1. Does the Java Locale class have a method to find all the locales supported for a particular country e.g. all locales for Switzerland? If not, how would you get this information from the available methods?
2. Does the Java Locale class have a method to find all the locales supported for a particular language e.g. all locales for Spain? If not, how would you get this information from the available methods?
3. It is common to see menus saying "Choose a country" or "Choose a language". Write code to display lists of country and language names in "display format" for the current locale and return a locale for that country and language choice
4. Modify the last question so that once a language has been chosen only the possible countries are displayed (or vice versa) for choice e.g. once the language is chosen as French the choice of countries is limited to France, Belgium. Luxembourg, Switzerland and Canada.
5. Out of the last two answers, which would users be happier with? Are there alternatives which might be preferable?
6. Write a Swing application that will read the name of an image file from a properties file and display that file. Use some images typical of a culture e.g. pictures of common food items, facial images, etc
7. Find a list of "standard" names for common GUI menu operations such as "Open", "Close" etc in various languages. Write a class or method to return the appropriate string from a "Menu" properties file for an operation
8. Write a class QuestionDialog with constructor that will take a single string (in say English) and display a question dialog box with suitable text taken from a properties file. What if the question text contains an "=" sign?
9. If you know how to do XML parsing, write a parser to find the currency symbol for a locale from its CLDR file
