Change the caret of language

[Mr. x]

Hello,

I am using both Hebrew and English.

I want programmatically to change the caret flag (the blinking cursor when
typing some characters on edit fields)
from right to left and from left to right.

What I am doing is calling Windows API (by JNI protocol) :
LoadKeyboardLayoutA - but this runs only on Windows platform.

Isn't there any other solution, but something that is simple or built in
java, to change the keyboard layout to Hebrew or English, or any other
language ?

Thanks

There is some treatment of Java2D's and Swing's support for
bidirectional text at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/2d/spec/j2d-fonts.html

I'm not sure how this relates to keyboard layouts though.
