Enabling Java accessibility support

You can use the Oracle Java™ Access Bridge to give native Windows assistive technologies, such as screen readers, access to the Java Accessibility support in a Java application. These native Windows assistive technologies must support calls to the bridge components.

The Oracle Java Access Bridge is provided in the runtime environment by default. To use the Oracle Java Access Bridge, uncomment the assistive_technologies entry in the jre/lib/accessibility.properties file to read:

assistive_technologies=com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessBridge
