actually this is incorrect as far as I know, the swing classes must be used,
and possibly the swt, Sina would be the best person to ask, since he did the
accessible java fruit basket application found at:

Good evening,
To the best of my knowledge it is not possible to make a Java applet
accessible to assistive technology as AWT does not implement the accessibility
API and AWT is the view which browsers take of UI components in applets, even
if the components are intended to be viewed as Swing objects.
I'd be happily corrected on this if someone has experienced an accessible
applet.
HTH,
Everett

Hi,
I don't know the first thing about how to take a Java Applet and make it
accessible. Can anyone point me to something that explains how to do this?
Thanks.
