There is a new method in 1.4, the programmer needs to call this method before creating any windows....
try
{
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().setDynamicLayout(true);
}
catch (NoSuchMethodError e)
{// not availble before 1.4

No, this is due to the development of a whole range of factors amongst which are mass production, the development of cheap plastic injection technology, cheap labour, container ships, a mature market for basic computer peripherals.
If the importer now pays a lower import tax *then* globalisation is also a reason.
If they are importing from Mexico this would probably be the case, however NAFTA is hardly globalisation is it? It's more like regionalisation.

This because of the development of refrigerated container ships and transport aircraft, it has nothing to do with globalisation. Globalisation is the exposure of your home market to foreign competition and cheaper labour. This is a particularly stupid example for you to give when the EU and the US pay huge subsidies to their farmers so they can survive this global competition.
