Now available at

or for a developer distribution
http://EmpowermentZone.com/JWin_setup.zip
I hope that JWin helps to open up more Java applications on Windows by
making it easy to add accessibility support. More info about the
program is below, including a link to the full documentation.

----------
JWin is a free, open source program for detecting and installing the
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on Windows, together with the Java Access
Bridge (JAB), which is needed for full accessibility of Java-based
applications to assistive technologies used by persons with disabilities.
After confirming user intent, the program will create a directory
containing JAB reference material, a log file, and an uninstallation
program to later remove the JAB, if desired. It looks for locations of
the JRE and offers to install the JAB into them. Three possible
directories are identified: (1) the directory of a 32-bit JRE; (2) the
directory of a 64-bit JRE; and (3) the directory referenced by the
JAVA_HOME environment variable.
The program will open a log file when complete, detailing the actions
taken. The JAB may be installed into any JRE location on the computer
by first setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the
relevant directory before running the executable.
If no JRE is found by the program, it will offer to go to the web page
for installing Java.
Full documentation for this program is also available online at
