Hi, I didn't realize that for accessibility on Ubuntu you need the Java Access Bridge. I thought that the Java Access Bridge was only needed in the Windows world to make Java talk to assistive technology that can't see into the virtual machine. Where can I learn more about this?

I suggest you check to see if the access bridge is installed on your computer because I doubt it is installed by default on Ubuntu.
