Hi Jason,

Thanks for your response. My experience with Java development for the 
last few years is that the only truly portable GUI framework is Sun's 
Swing toolkit. As of only a few months ago, it appeared that one needed 
to jump through quite a number of hoops to make Swing-based apps 
accessible in Gnome, and accessibility in Windows has always been pretty 
spotty. Now that Java has been released under the GPL, how is 
accessibility at least in GNOME?

Best regards,
Steve
