Even while in Sun, the Java Access Bridge has had virtually no resources 
working on it for a few years now; all Oracle did was make it official.

Oracle also got OpenOffice.org as part of the Sun deal and a new organization, 
The Document Foundation, has forked the code base and is now calling it Libre 
Office. If one person is good at working on things like the Access Bridge he or 
she can take ownership of it and try to keep it moving forward as well as round 
up volunteers to help out. It's not a simple program as it needs to work on a 
whole pile of different OS and OS versions.
