RE: GNOME shell magnifier does not track Java UI events



GNOME  Shell focus tracking doesn't handle AWT/Swing events. GNOME 
Shell focus tracking are based on listening at-spi2 events. So on the 
case of Java, the ATK wrapper would need to forward any relevant Java 
accessibility event in order to work with GNOME Shell.
Do you know the state of the Java ATK wrapper ?

It would be really nice if someone could step up and answer that question.

Please let me give you an outline why this is so important to me:

I'm working as a business application developer. In my domain, JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA has become the facto 
standard for the type of development work I'm doing. I need strong magnification to do my work. Until now I 
got the job done with ZoomText, tracking events through the Windows/Java Access Bridge. Recently I got into 
trouble, because I had to work on software that was never designed to be built and run under Windows. This is 
a trend and I'm holding my breath with every contract deal I try to strike.

So, how can we move this forward? The days I could push Linux away (against my will) are gone.

Many thanks in advance!
Bas
