Mmmm, I don't know where it'd be on your distro, on Debian it'd be
/etc/java-<version>-openjdk/accessibility.properties

The properties should be the only needed thing.


I'm however realizing that Oracle still hasn't fixed the loading of jaw,
despite my bug report. In debian we have the following patch:

--- a/src/hotspot/os/linux/os_linux.cpp
+++ b/src/hotspot/os/linux/os_linux.cpp
@@ -451,6 +451,7 @@ void os::init_system_properties_values()
     }
     Arguments::set_java_home(buf);
     set_boot_path('/', ':');
+    Arguments::append_sysclasspath("/usr/share/java/java-atk-wrapper.jar");
   }

   // Where to look for native libraries.

Details are in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900912

To avoid rebuilding openjdk, you can use 

export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/java-atk-wrapper.jar
