Hi,
I forgot how to specify the locale when launching a java swing app from
command line. Can anyone point me to some URL where I can find java command
line options and a list of language and locale identifiers.
Thanks.

They are controlled by a number of system properties. See

Thanks for the link but unfortunately I couldn't find the answer I am
looking so I'll rephrase my question. What is the command line option(s) to
use if I want to start a swing app in another language than the default one?
I roughly remember it was something like --locale=xx_XX --language=XX etc...

All I can do is ask you to follow the links I already gave you.

both the names of the properties, source code to get/set them and
instructions how to put them on the java.exe command line are all
there.
