Do Suns JREs support the euro currency?
Yes, Sun’s JREs let you type the euro character, render it, convert it from and to numerous character encodings, and use it when formatting numeric values as currency. For text input and rendering, you need the appropriate support in the host operating system – see the documentation for Windows and Solaris. For formatting with a currency symbol, Sun’s JREs from version 1.4 use the euro as the default currency for the member countries of the European Monetary Union, while for Sun’s JRE 1.3.1 you need to select locales with the “EURO” variant.
