Bug 46114 - Java Access Bridge no longer works

[V Stuart Foote]

Devs,

ref: Bug 46114 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46114 )

So understand the effort to reduce the Java UNO dependencies and desire to
move to more robust solutions. But it would appear that current releases of
Oracle's Java Access Bridge is no longer functioning, so the Accessibility
"Support assistive technology tools..." check box causes  LibreOffice 3.5.x
Windows builds to crash.

Without some support for the Java Access Bridge--no assistive technology
tools are working in LO.

Either need to press on  with the IBM contributed IAcessible2 integration (
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39956 ) to fully eliminate JAB,
or roll back and revisit what we've done to ourselves and what Oracle has
done with the package that is making it incompatible.  

Eitherway there is a large class of  disabled LO users  on Windows that have
been left hanging--and not just users dependent on screen readers like NVDA.

Regards,

Stuart
