I want to provide a java application with a Microsoft Ribbon like view. After a quick search I found the flamingo project useful. The problem is that I want to have a right-to-left ribbon menu and I can not. I just want to know if the API provides any support for right-to-left ribbon tasks, ribbonbands, etc?

I did try to set component orientation for an instance of JRibbonBand in this way:

JRibbonBand band1 = new JRibbonBand band1.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

and also for the main ribbon :

frame.getRibbon().setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

Unfortunately it did not work except for the application menu button (the circular button on the top).

Is there any other way to do so?

    Solved!

    I found that I should invoke applyComponentOrientation instead of setComponentOrientation for a ribbon instance to switch to RTL mode.
