And in speaking about the accessibility of open office a java software.
Anyone have a link or download of the accessible bridge v2? I tried
v1.8 but it won't recognize there latest upgrade. Now all java stuff
is partially broke whether it be software or web pages. That would be
a bug that FS will never fix and has left it up to sun micro systems.

Hi List,
Sorry if this question has been raised before and dealt with. Does
anyone know exactly why the Windows version of Open Office is only
partly accessible with a screen reader, while the Linux version is
streets ahead? Because Open Office is written in Java I assume the
code base is 98% identical across platforms. Is the problem mainly
with the JAB (Java Access Bridge) or with the screen readers
themselves? Could the JAB not be open sourced so it can be updated
to bridge Java, MSAA, UIA and any other access middle ware standard?
NVDA works the best with Open Office, so I would assume it makes the
best use of the JAB. Is there other Java to access technology middle
ware in common use today?
I can remember a really long thread that in part had some info on
Java accessibility, but I just can't justify going through all that
to possibly find out more.
Keep well
