Apologies for wiping out the conversation to this point, but I just
wanted to make a comment on java and osx, and that is:
As long as you're using standard java controls, (buttons, text areas,
check boxes, and the like) and as long as you're not using xwing to
create your output (as most web-based java packages do) then voiceover
will work with your application without you needing to do anything out
of the ordinary. I've written several programs in java, and as long
as standard java controls are used, I've never run into a case where
voiceover couldn't see and interact with the controls in the guis. In
fact, for visually impaired developers who depend on voiceover, java's
grid layout with containers can't be beat for autogeneration of guis,
because I don't need to be concerned with where things are on the
screen, java handles that for me, all I do is write my code behind the
interface elements, and everything just works.
Now, of course, you're probably not using the grid layout, but again,
as long as you use one of the default layouts, and don't do anything
fancy behind the scenes, your java apps should just work with
voiceover w/o your having to do anything special.
Of course, again, I've not done anything complicated with my
interfaces, simply because I can't if I want to be able to use my
programs myself, so your mileage may vary, but these are my experiences.
