With the java access bridge installed jaws does support java and has done so for several years. The latest version of window eyes does support java if you download the proper scripts but I don't have any first hand experience so can't speak to it's quality. I know the author of the java scripts is on the list though. Computer settings depends on what IDE and technologys your team uses, I can't provide help with out more info.

Hi Everyone,

I finally figured out that I must have some how fallen off the list, so
I subscribed again. I would like to know if Windoweyes supports Java as
they claim and if any of you would like the National Federation of the
Blind in Computer Science to ask Freedom Scientific why JAWS can't
support Java?

After a few years of trying to learn Java without actual work, I am
finally being given my first opportunity to work with a team. If any of
you have any suggestions on computer settings or anything else, I would
be delighted to hear from you.

Subject: Java accessibility

Hi all,

Apologies - I know this question has been asked a lot of times, but I
don't know how to get into the list archives.

I'm keen to learn Java, and obviously want to make my apps as accessible
as possible. I remember reading on this list a while back that Swing
isn't the best way to go, but can't remember what the suggested
alternative was. Can someone give me a heads-up?

Thanks as always, Lynn
