    @Deprecated
    public static ComponentOrientation getOrientation(ResourceBundle bdl)

    Deprecated. As of J2SE 1.4, use getOrientation(java.util.Locale).
    Returns the orientation appropriate for the given ResourceBundle's localization. Three approaches are tried, in the following order:

    1. Retrieve a ComponentOrientation object from the ResourceBundle using the string "Orientation" as the key.
    2. Use the ResourceBundle.getLocale to determine the bundle's locale, then return the orientation for that locale.
    3. Return the default locale's orientation.
