  *                      HATS menu is always left aligned        *
  *                      while the other menu options are        *
  *                      right aligned.                          *
  *                                                              *
  *                      Scenario:                               *
  *                      1- Create HATS web project with         *
  *                      CodePage 420                            *
  *                      2- Render a SelectionList as            *
  *                      Radiobuttons                            *
  *                      3- Deploy to a WebSphere on zLinux      *
  *                      4- Navigate to the selection list       *
  *                      5- Result: the first optin in the       *
  *                      Selection List is left aligned          *
  *                      6- Right click on the page and view     *
  *                      the HTML source for this page           *
  *                      7- Navigate to the HTML containing the  *
  *                      first element of the selection list     *
  *                      8- Result: The generated HTML for the   *
  *                      first element of the selection list is  *
  *                      wrong, the numbers inside the HTML are  *
  *                      generated in Arabic-Western form which  *
  *                      is wrong                                *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The generated HTML for the selection list is sent to a Bidi
  method that transforms the numbers into Arabic-Western form
  which is not understood by the browser.  Only the content or
  the description of the elements of the selection list should
  be processed by Bidi methods.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is done in "SLRadioButtonWidget.java" in
  "drawselection" method by sending the description part of the
  Radiobutton widget only to the ArabicDataExchange method
  The call for ArabicDataExchange is eliminated from
  "SLRadioButtonWidgetBIDI.java"
