Re: [orca-list] java applets

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
As I remember I did send a response. For either platform (Linux or 
Windows) you will need the appropriate access bridge installed like you 
do for swing applications (IE. java access bridge on Windows, java ATK 
wrapper on Linux). I think applets should be comparable to java swing 
applications regarding accessibility.

I have certainly used java applets (admittedly not very advanced ones) 
with orca and Dolphin Hal. I am not sure about NVDA.

As with GUI applications in general, the developer may have broken the 
accessibility, so you may wish to find a very basic one to test out 
where the problem is. Probably a basic thing from a tutorial on applets 
would do, one which may be shows a button.
