[libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

Hello.
I'm a visually impaired user running Libo 3.5.3 with the NVDA screen reader with Java Access Bridge 2.0.2.  I received some emails from Bugzilla regarding an issue with 3.5.0 which I reported involving JAB not working with that release.  this was fixed in 3.5.1 but some emails indicated there might have been some issues with 3.5.4 before its release.  I'm just wondering if it's properly working with 3.5.4 before I install it and risk breaking accessibility.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

Hello David,

Another user was having issues with Java Access Bridge version 2.0.1 and version 2.0.2  and also with NVDA

The Bugzilla report 46114 that  you submitted appeared to be the most on topic but did not mention a resolution or workaround,  so it was reopened.

That is why you received recent emails.

The Java Access Bridge 2.0.2 does not seem to work correctly with LibreOffice 3.5.4 if installed using instructions provided by Oracle.

But it is not clear that JAB 2.0.1 works either if installed using Oracle instructions.

So could you explain how you were able to configure  your installation of Java Access Bridge 2.0.1 to work in LibreOffice 3.5.3?

Thank you.

Hi David and all.

Well I don't know about NVDA, but 3.54 is working fine here with the Dolphin
access suite, formerly Supernova.  Although I love NVDA and I have it on all
my systems I've frankly had very little luck in getting it to work with
Libre office.  I guess others have had more luck with this.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

Hi, all,

Well, since it works on the Dolphin, I'm wondering how well it does
with the shark.  Going to fire it up tonight with Jaws 11 and see how
it goes.  OpenOffice worked better, especially Writer though Impress
would have Jaws for lunch and render it speechless.  I'll report
findings on Libreoffice.

Hi.
The issue with JAB not working in 3.5.0 was fixed in 3.5.1 and I'm currently
running 3.5.3 on a 32-bit Win7 machine with JAB 2.0.2.  I installed JAB
2.0.2 using a nifty lieelt program called Jwin written by Jamal Mazrui.
Jwin automatically downloads and installs the correct version of JAB 2.0.2
since Oracle no longer offered an executable installer.  I don't have the
Url but if you search for
Jwin Jamal Mazrui
You're sure to find it.
I can try it with 3.5.4 if there's a chance that accessibility might be
working and can report back to you if you'd like.  I guess I'd just rather
know if it works or whether it will fail if someone knows for certain.

RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

OK, Libo 3.5.4 seems to work with JAB 2.0.2.  I haven't done exhaustive
testing but menus read and I can use arrow keys to read text within a Writer
document.  If JAB wasn't working menus and arrow keys would be silent.

Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

Hi, list,

Did a small test drive of Libre Office on Windows with Jaws yesterday.
 Writer appears to work for basic documents.  There is a bit of a
delay before the text you type appears to the screen reader but I
think someone who knows how to write jaws scripts in the jaws
scripting language can work with it and make it fully accessible.  I
haven't gotten a chance to work with Calc or Impress or any of the
others yet.  One thing I did notice is the menus and things are much
snappier than Open Office was.  That was nice.

RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

In reply to this post by David Goldfield
David,

Thanks for the JWin tip and for checking your JAB 2.0.2 function in LO 3.5.4

Jamal Mazrui's JWin scripted  installation  ( http://empowermentzone.com/JWin.htm ) installs the correct Oracle provided DLL's and the JAB Jar files.  But JWin does nothing different than Oracle's manual installation steps, so I must have made the error. It looks as if I'd borked the Java Access Bridge installation--guess it must be a common issue.

Still poking around in the Windows specific LibreOffice configurations for NVDA--but it looks like the JAB 2.0.2 is mostly functional for LibreOffice 3.5.4

Will visit with the developers and  probably now suggest closure of the 46114 Bugzilla report, although the LibreOffice crash was of concern, will not likely be able to reproduce.

RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

Stuart,
I also attempted to manually install JAB 2.0.2 and could not get NVDA to
read the program and it was probably due to a similar error.  I honestly do
not understand why Oracle does not release an executable which nicely
installs JAB as they did with 2.0.1.  Jwin did a great job and it's what
I'll use unless Oracle releases something which is more efficient.
