Re: [orca-list] java applications reported as inaccessible

Hi Don,

Thank you for getting in touch with us about the problem which you have encountered (and thanks to everyone else who has already replied offering helpful suggestions about this!)

It sounds like an infuriating issue! Aside from SwingSet, it would be useful for me to know what other specific java apps this issue has prevented you from using with orca?


The rest of my response is inline:

Hi,

 

Libatk-wrapper-java is version 0.30.4-3 as is libatk-wrapper-java-jni.


Firstly, please check you have the openjdk-accessibility extension installed and install it if it is not. However, I reckon in this case the particular version you happen to have installed is the most likely to be the source of the problem. Backstory:

Prior to 0.30.5 (which was released from git.gnome.org in September of 2014)  the java-atk-wrapper had not actually been actively maintained by anyone since 2011 and as I recall, even the build process had really had gotten quite broken by that point (I am not sure how the packagers got round that at the time, but credit to their packaging skills, they managed it)

I reckon it's probably just not worth your time to try to get the version you have installed working; under the circumstances, I advise you seek a later version of the wrapper and ensure you clean 0.30.4-3 off your desktop completely before installing it too (but be careful not to remove any packages which depend on it or which it depends on itself, in the process).

Although it's worth emphasising that the development version is technically the unstable version - in this particular case, the latest git release (which is 0.33.1). should actually be more stable than the one you currently have installed and should at least resolve this particular problem

If your distro doesn't already provide a package to try an update with, then there are some instructions on how to build, run and test the wrapper on its dedicated wiki page.[1] if you do end up going down that route, then I would be grateful if you could please let us know how you get on with it and please feel free to report any other bugs which you may come across! 

In the meantime, I hope the background information helps you solve this without too much sweat!

Running swingset2.jar comes up as inaccessible as well.

I feel like I am missing a critical piece of the puzzle to get this to work.

Hi Don.
What version of java-atk-wrapper are you running?
Did you try to test using SwingSet2.jar?
Thanks.

Hello,

 

I am runnin kali linux 1.1.0a which was based on debian wheezy 7.8.

 

I have java-7-openjdk and the java-atk-wrapper installed on the system.

When I try to open any java swing application orca reports that the application is inaccessible.

Is there a trick to getting java and orca to work together?

 

NOTE: the accessibility.properties file is installed in the /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/lib folder,

And the java-atk-wrapper.jar file is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/lib/ext folder.

Libatk-bridge2.0-0 is installed as is python-atspi2.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Donald
