Java Access Bridge (v2.0 beta 4) for the Microsoft Windows operating system makes it possible for a Windows based Assistive Technology to get at and interact with the Java Accessibility API. The Java Accessibility API is implemented in the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) Project Swing user interface components.

This Access Bridge is a class which contains "native methods." Part of the code for the class is actually supplied by a dynamically linked library (DLL) on the Microsoft Windows system. The assistive technology running on the host platform (for example, a screen reader running in Windows) communicates with the Microsoft Windows native DLL portion of the bridge class. In turn, the native code of the Bridge Class communicates through the Java virtual machine with the Java Accessibility utility support and the Java Accessibility API on the individual user interface objects of the Java-based application.

The README.txt contains instructions for setting up and testing the Access Bridge as well as an inventory of files contained in the download.
