[gui-talk] [guy-talk] FW: [program-l] windows Installer for Java Access Bridge?

[Mike Freeman]

Hi, Steve.

Nope; not on the Java list. I was on the ProgrammingBlind list but it got a
bit verbose for me what with arguments between Andre and Jamal and Tyler and
everybody else. (grin)

I agree with your sentiments re making Java consistently accessible and
putting a bug in Oracle's ear although, in truth, the situation for me is
not so much that the installation process is all that complex as it is that
the bureaucracy where I work compartmentalizes things so much that the techs
that do installs and verifications aren't privy to the sorts of manual
directory and file moves and such which is left to "developers" on boxes
that presumably aren't on the network to "corrupt" standard configurations.
Oh well. *I* could do the install from the instructions but the Powers that
Be wax apoplectic when confronting such a possibility!

GRRR!

Mike

Mike,

Are you on the JavaAccess list?  If not I could forward.  I have also seen
more discussion of Java on the ProgrammingBlind list but don't know if you
are on that list.  In some ways, I'd be surprised if there was an install
package since the install seems to depend upon where other components of
Java are located and there can be more than one instance and even one
version as I understand it.  I personally think we are going to have to put
some pressure on to get the job of making Java Accessible that was started
fifteen years ago finished.  One way or another, we need to get more
consistency in how accessibility is to be achieved with Java.  As it stands
now, a software developer can believe their software is accessible only to
find it isn't because of difficulties with the version of the screen reader,
the version of the Windows Access Bridge, and the version of Java itself.
This is not really Oracles fault, but since Oracle has an interest in
getting this to work, maybe we need to use some of our connections with
them.  None of this really answers your question, though, does it.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
