Java can be accessible as long as the programmer uses the language correctly
and, when needed, adds accessibility to the application. I worked for a
company that developed an application in Java that was fully accessible with
JAWS - not JAWS scripted, the features were built into the application.
Have the programmer start here:

Subject: Java and Jaws?
Hi folks.
I'm in contact with a software developer who codes in Java, I
assume so he can work using his MAC but have his program work on
other platforms, like Windows-based PC's. Is there any way to
write accessible Java, either accessible to JFW on the PC or
VoiceOver on the Mac?
He's a very approachable and open guy, so I'd like to offer him
something useful. I hope I won't have to just say "nope, Java means
not accessible for us". In other words, I want to find some sort of
option for him if he does decide to pay attention to accessibility
concerns.
thanks for any info I can pass along,
Chris
