Hi list,

I have tried my hand at Java development a twice now.
The first time it ended in a complete failure because I couldn't install the 
jdk myself, for some reason the screen was not readable.
Second time around i first installed JRE (java runtime engine), than the java 
access bridge and finally the jdk. This worked. After that i ran the 
accessbridge setup again to install the necessary files in the JRE that came 
with the JDK. Both times i rebooted my system when prompted.
Still however the javamonkey and javaferret programs seem not to be readable, 
or at least not the way they should be.
Also trying some basic javax.swing code elements produced nothing according to 
my screenreader.
I have referenced my directories with the manual setup instructions, and see 
two inconsistencies:
- the accessibility.properties file that is supposed to be in c:`program 
files`java`jre`lib`ext` is not there.
The file could not be found on a global windows search either.
- Also, where the instructions refer to copying a accessbridge_x_xx.jar , x 
being a version number, I found that i have an accessbridge.jar file, so 
without a version number attached.

I have no idea what of all of this is relevant and I am lost beyond all 
recognition when it comes to solving this riddle. I am very very new to java 
development so it could just be me doing something wrong but I have no idea 
what so if someone can point it out to me that would be very much apreciated.

Regards and thanks in advance,
Florian__________
