Not that I have seen, even with the bridge installed. Have a great day, Alex

FYI -- This is an exciting breakthrough in access to Java applications onthe Windows platform. The Java Access Bridge from Sun is not
needed.
This technology is developed by an expert Java developer who is blind. Improvements are ongoing.

GW Micro is excited to announce support for Java applications through the new WE4Java Window-Eyes script, developed by Jay Macarty.
The WE4Java Script Central web page describes WE4Java as a
script
that "provides access to Java based programs using an alternate technology fromthe Java Access Bridge. This interface communicates directly
with the
Window-Eyes COM object model via a public API."
WE4Java is designed to send information from Java applications
to
Window-Eyes via the Window-Eyes scripting COM interface.
Because
Window-Eyes is a COM server (meaning other applications can sendinformation directly to Window-Eyes), the possibilities of
making any
application accessible are endless, regardless of the
programming
language an application is developed in.
"The Java language is, at times, regarded as being limited in
the
area ofaccessibility and not particularly screen reader friendly, "
says
WE4Javadeveloper, Jay Macarty. "However, Java actually has one of the
most
powerful accessibility frameworks available built right into the
GUI
components. WE4Java simply takes advantage of the extreme power
of
the Window-Eyes scripting facility to expose the Java accessibility framework in a new and different way. We're not re-inventing java accessibility.We're simply making it visible as an external Window-Eyes
script.
In other words, the java access capability was always there. Window-Eyes scripting provided a way to unlock it in a new manner."
You can read more about WE4Java atAhttp://www.gwmicro.com/scripts/WE4Java. If you're using
Window-
Eyes 7.0 or greater, you can download and install WE4Java for immediate access toyour Java applications. Once WE4Java is installed, you can read
the
documentation by selecting WE4Java under the Programs section of the Start Menu.
Congratulations to all Window-Eyes script developers for all
your
hardwork and contributions. We are excited about the future that
Window-
Eyes scripting has to offer.
