In order for assistive technologies, like screen readers, to work with Java-based applications and applets, the Windows-based computer must also have Sun's Java Access Bridge installed, as described below.
Please refer to the Oracle9i Developer Suite Installation Guide found
in the root directory on the Oracle9i Developer Suite CD, in <oracle_ids_home>/doc/core902/install/toc.htm
for information about installing Oracle9iDS. Please refer to the Preface
in the documentation found on the Oracle9iDS CD, in <oracle_ids_home>/doc/core902/install/pref.htm
for additional information about accessibility.
Please refer to the following information to set up a screen reader and Java Access Bridge.
Refer to the documentation for your screen reader for more information about installation.
Refer to the Installation Guide found in <oracle_ids_home>/doc/core902/install/toc.htm
and on OTN for more information about JDeveloper installation.

accessbridge_home
.Install.exe
from the
<accessbridge_home>\installer
folder. access-bridge.jar
and jaccess-1_3.jar
were added to the folder <oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib\ext
during the install. If necessary, copy them from <accessbridge_home>\installer\installerFiles
to <oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib\ext
.
JavaAccessBridge.dll
and WindowsAccessBridge.dll
were added to the folder <oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib\ext
.
If necessary, copy them from <accessbridge_home>\installer\installerFiles
to <oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib\ext
.
JavaAccessBridge.dll
and WindowsAccessBridge.dll
,
to the Winnt\System32
directory, as they must be in the system
path in order to work with JDeveloper.<oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib\ext
.<oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib\accessibility.properties
includes the following line:
assistive_technologies=com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessBridge
If necessary, copy the file accessibility.properties
from
<accessbridge_home>\installer\installerFiles
to <oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib
.
jdev.conf
located in the folder <jdev_install>\jdev\bin
to uncomment the AddVMOption line
as shown below:
#
# Prepend patches to the bootclasspath. Currently, rtpatch.jar contains
a
# patch that fixes the javax.swing.JTree accessibility problems.
# Uncomment the line below if you need to run JDeveloper under JAWS.
#
AddVMOption -Xbootclasspath/p:../../jdk/jre/lib/patches/rtpatch.jar
SetJavaVM
line in the jdev.conf
file as follows:SetJavaVM hotspot
jdev.exe
located in the
folder <jdev_install>\jdev\bin
. The steps above assume you are running Windows and using a Windows-based screen reader. A console window that contains error information (if any) will open first and then the main JDeveloper window will appear, once JDeveloper has started.
