As far as I know, no. java-atk-wrapper was not tested on maemo. In
general, I think that java was not really popular on maemo. And I think
that this didn't change with Meego or Tizen.

Dogtail and some derived work based on that. You can take a look on this:

http://hildon-test-aut.garage.maemo.org/

Anyway, take into account that these days hildon, maemo and meego are
considered "old technologies" by several people. The reason I mentioned
them is to answer your original question about if a11y stack was used on
ARM, as was the case.
