Description
This document is a tutorial/cookbook on writing Assistive Technology in
Java. It describes techniques for use in Java for doing specific
things that Assistive Technology commonly needs to do in any GUI-based
system. These techniques are broken down by topic, as well as grouped
by the kind of Assistive Technology (so that one technique may appear in
multiple places). These techniques are based on using the Java Accessibility
API, as well as special utility classes designed to help Assistive Technologies
query various UI-components running in the Java VM.
Note: this document is a work in progress, and at this point is more
of an outline than a complete tutorial/cookbook.
