[jawsscripts] Re: Java using Swing classes and Jaws accessibility?

If using the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) rather than Swing for the GUI
is an option, I think the Java application is more likely to be
accessible on Windows, since SWT uses native controls with built in
support for the Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) API.  For a Swing
GUI, one source of guidelines is on the IBM site at

http://www-03.ibm.com/able/guidelines/java/accessjava.html

Hope this helps,
Jamal
