Run Java applications with native assistive technologies

Oracle provides the Java™ Access Bridge to give native Windows assistive technologies, such as screen readers, access to the Java Accessibility support in a Java application. These native Windows assistive technologies must support calls to the Java Access Bridge.

The Java Access Bridge available from Oracle includes an installer, which places five files in the correct directories: access-bridge.jar, jaccess.jar, accessibility.properties, JavaAccessBridge.dll and WindowsAccessBridge.dll. IBM ships a copy of jaccess.jar in the appropriate directory for use with JawBridge.

If you have already enabled the IBM Accessibility Bridge (JawBridge) and you want to enable JawBridge at the same time as the Java Access Bridge, edit the line in the accessibility.properties file to read:

assistive_technologies=com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessBridge,JawBridge

Comment out the line by inserting a leading # to deactivate both bridges. This Web site tells you how to how to download the Java Access Bridge:
