Freedom scientific has supported java for over seven or eight years now. See
the java access bridge.

In fact, several years ago gw micro was so pethetically clueless and obtuse
about this issue that one of their lead developers came on this list and
publically stated that nobody cares about java support, or not enough folks
to make a difference.  He pretty much got laughed off, but I thought the
sheer cluelessness  was noteworthy and significant.

Anyways, there have also been other contributions by valueable list members
such as Jay Mcarty on this topic, regarding window eyes access to java.

Take care,
Sina

Hi Everyone,

I finally figured out that I must have some how fallen off the list, so
I subscribed again. I would like to know if Windoweyes supports Java as
they claim and if any of you would like the National Federation of the
Blind in Computer Science to ask Freedom Scientific why JAWS can't
support Java?

After a few years of trying to learn Java without actual work, I am
finally being given my first opportunity to work with a team. If any of
you have any suggestions on computer settings or anything else, I would
be delighted to hear from you.

Hi all,

Apologies - I know this question has been asked a lot of times, but I
don't know how to get into the list archives.

I'm keen to learn Java, and obviously want to make my apps as accessible
as possible. I remember reading on this list a while back that Swing
isn't the best way to go, but can't remember what the suggested
alternative was. Can someone give me a heads-up?

Thanks as always, Lynn
