<HTML><HEAD><TITLE> GW Micro Announces Support for Java
Applications</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><P>GW Micro is excited to
announce support for Java applications through the new WE4Java
Window-Eyes script, developed by Jay Macarty.
<br /
<br /
The WE4Java Script Central web page describes WE4Java as a script
that "provides access to Java based programs using an alternate
technology from the Java Access Bridge. This interface
communicates directly with the Window-Eyes COM object model via a
public API."
<br /
<br /
WE4Java is designed to send information from Java applications to
Window-Eyes via the Window-Eyes scripting COM interface. Because
Window-Eyes is a COM server (meaning other applications can send
information directly to Window-Eyes), the possibilities of making
any application accessible are endless, regardless of the
programming language an application is developed in.
<br /
<br /
"The Java language is, at times, regarded as being limited in the
area of accessibility and not particularly screen reader
friendly, " says WE4Java developer, Jay Macarty. "However, Java
actually has one of the most powerful accessibility frameworks
available built right into the GUI components. WE4Java simply
takes advantage of the extreme power of the Window-Eyes scripting
facility to expose the Java accessibility framework in a new and
different way. We're not re-inventing java accessibility. We're
simply making it visible as an external Window-Eyes script. In
other words, the java access capability was always there.
Window-Eyes scripting provided a way to unlock it in a new
manner."
<br /
<br /
You can read more about WE4Java at <a
href="/scripts/WE4Java">http://www.gwmicro.com/scripts/WE4Java<
/a>. If you're using Window-Eyes 7.0 or greater, you can
download and install WE4Java for immediate access to your Java
applications. Once WE4Java is installed, you can read the
documentation by selecting WE4Java under the Programs section of
the Start Menu.
<br /
<br /
Congratulations to all Window-Eyes script developers for all your
hard work and contributions. We are excited about the future
that Window-Eyes scripting has to offer.</BODY></HTML
