AWT Monitor

The AWT Monitor allows you to obtain information about objects being displayed on the screen by a particular Java Virtual Machine, and does not require the JFC classes.

To run the AWTMonitor example, you need to have obtained and installed the JDK 1.1.2 or better.

Java Monitor

The Java Monitor allows you to obtain information about objects being displayed on the screen by a particular Java Virtual Machine, and provides extended support for the JFC classes.

To run the Java Monitor you need to have obtained and installed the JDK 1.1.2 or better, and the JFC Early Access Release, Version 0.5.
NOTE: In order to download the JFC Early Access Release, Version 0.5 (known as swing-0.5), you will need to set up a JDC account. The account is free and allows you access to early access downloads.

Explorer

Explorer keeps track of the mouse movement in a particular Java Virtual Machine. When detects the mouse has stopped moving for a short period of time, it calls EventQueueMonitor's method, getAccessibleAt, to determine the Accessible object under the mouse. Once it has done so, it displays the Accessible information of that object.

To run Explorer you need to have obtained and installed the JDK 1.1.2 or better, and the JFC Early Access Release, Version 0.5.
NOTE: In order to download the JFC Early Access Release, Version 0.5 (known as swing-0.5), you will need to set up a JFC account. The account is free and allows you access to early access downloads.

Monkey

Like a monkey, Monkey "swings" through the UI trees in a particular Java Virtual Machine and presents the hierarchy in two different ways. The first is the actual Component hierarchy and the second is the hierarchy viewed as Accessible objects.

To run Monkey you need to have obtained and installed the JDK 1.1.2 or better, and the JFC Early Access Release, Version 0.5.
NOTE: In order to download the JFC Early Access Release, Version 0.5 (known as swing-0.5), you will need to set up a JFC account. The account is free and allows you access to early access downloads.

NOTE: This is a preliminary release of Java Accessibility. We reserve the right to modify the specification in future versions.
