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 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 for more information about JDeveloper installation.

accessbridge_home
.Install.exe
from the
<accessbridge_home>\installer
folder. <accessbridge_home>\installer\installerFiles
to <oracle_home>\jdk\jre\lib\ext
:
access-bridge.jar
jaccess-1_4.jar
JavaAccessBridge.dll
JAWTAccessBridge.dll
WindowsAccessBridge.dll
JavaAccessBridge.dll
, JAWTAccessBridge.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 three lines:
assistive_technologies=com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessBridge
AWT.EventQueueClass=com.sun.java.accessibility.util.EventQueueMonitor
AWT.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
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.
