[nvda] Re: writing scripts for NVDA

well personally I got the jave 6 update loaded but couldn't uninstall it.
The only way to fix this apart from a reformat was run the install and wait for 
3 seconds and then cancel and then manually delete the java directory.
Sun support say access bridge works with supernova.
I have hal 5.21 and jaws 62.20 which I know supports java accessbridge.
But I can get no go with this.
A load of sites require jaccess now.
