Re: [orca-list] orca, java access bridge and java

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I don't know the answers to your first two questions, but it is worth
noting that the java control panel does have some accessibility issues
(as far as I know).

As for your third question, I think JApplet should be accessible. Have
you made sure that firefox is using the sun java plugin included in the
JRE? According to my set up here (which I assume must be what was stated
in the installation docs) you should create a symbolic link called
libjavaplugin_oji.so in the firefox plugins directory which points to
the plugin in the JRE. On my system, where firefox is in /firefox/ and
the JRE is in /usr/lib/java/jre/ I would have given the command 

ln
-s /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

on a command line (that command above should all be one line if it
doesn't come out that way due to line wrapping). I also have a memory
that the documentation says this should be a link rather than copy the
plugin as copying may break things for the plugin.
