Re: ANNOUNCE: Java ATK Wrapper 0.27.2

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Joanie:

The instructions are similar to the Java Access Bridge for GNOME, but 
easier.  Since the Java ATK Wrapper is not using Java/CORBA, we don't 
need the ~/.orbitrc nonsense.  But, we still need to set up the 
accessibility.properties and java-atk-wrapper.jar files.

On OpenSolaris, what you can do is build/install the wrapper with the 
following options sent to ./autogen.sh:

 --prefix=/usr --with-java-home=/usr/java

After you install, in /usr/java/jre/lib, make a symbolic link to 
/usr/share/jar/accessibility.properties and in /usr/java/jre/lib/ext, 
make a symbolic link to /usr/share/jar/java-atk-wrapper.jar.

NOTE TO EVERYONE, especially Orca users: this is a work in progress. 
More work is needed in the wrapper and scripting is likely to be needed 
in Orca.  However, my early tests seem to indicate that dumping the 
Java/CORBA implementation in favor of a direct JNI layer to ATK seems to 
yield more reliability and better performance.  Way to go, Ke!
