RE: Java accessibility

Yes, this is true; however, I think it's important to understand how swing
works from a java point of view.  Then things like swt can come later.  Also
there are some packages which you can import which will automatically use
swt instead of swing, but allow you to have the swing names.

Take care,
Sina

Thanks Sina. I'll hunt out Thinking in Java and start there.

Someone mentioned that Swing requires the Java AccessBridge to be
installed on the client, whereas some other control set didn't. Any idea
what that was about.

Cheers, Lynn

I think swing can get a bad name .  I personally have used several
accessible swing applications.

To get started, I'd recommend trying to find a digital copy of a java
book; for example, thinking in java by bruce eckle is available on the
web.  I think it's actually available from his site.
 
There are also tutorials one can follow, called trails, at java.sun.com

Take care,
Sina

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
