Is there a way to set/change the keyboard input language in Java (eg from English to German)?
Example Use Case: Script to be used for playback is recorded (typed in) on a German keyboard. The automated playback is done on a English keyboard...fails if keyboard is not set to German automatically before script is run.
The keyboard input map is managed entirely by the operating system on every platform that I'm familiar with. Java provides no APIs for manipulating this in a cross-platform manner. I would investigate native APIs that you could manipulate via JNA, or even (if you're feeling dirty) shelling out to call some platform-specific command which does what you need.
You're not going to find a solution within the JDK standard lib.
