Hi Jay,
I recall you said you are trying to modify the WE4Java code so that it can be screen reader independent. Let me encourage you not to postpone release of the code until that is done. Part of the idea of open source development is to release early and often, allowing other interested developers to look at the code and pitch in if possible. Someone else might think of a way of achieving what you want to do in a more effective or efficient fashion. The more eyes and ears that can possibly help along the way, the more likely that something useful will emerge in the foreseeable future.
I suggest just putting out whatever you currently have, complete with explicit caveats, qualifiers, "as is" assertions, etc. 

Best,
Jamal

G’day Jay and all,

I’ve been keeping an ear out for this one ever since the word hit the
wire earlier this year. Any updates re the projects status, availability
of the source code, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I did dive into SF and did the browse repository thing and also
followed many of the project links though nothing much seems to have
changed since the initial setup. Perhaps I’ve missed something or not
looking in the right places?

Thanks.

Cheers.

All,

I have created a SourceForge project named Java Accessibility Client
(JAC). I am still completing the setup but will post the source code and
the link to the project soon.

NOTE: The name was changed from WE4Java to Java Accessibility Client to
denote a more generalized platform for the software. Besides, now if
someone says they can't access a java application, we can tell them they
don't know JAC. :)

More later.
