The following patch to accessibility related code is for the modularity effort.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ptbrunet/JDK-8055160/webrev.00/ The Java Access Bridge (which provides access to Java for example by screen readers used by those who are blind) is currently loaded by Toolkit via reflection as a JDK specific feature. The prior means of loading the JAB relies on the Java extension mechanism and the JAB class file being located in lib/ext. The Java extension mechanism no longer exits in Java 9. The new code uses a service provider interface in preparation for loading the Java Access Bridge and other service provider implementations as modules. The following is the change to java.awt.Toolkit. jdk/src/java.desktop/share/classes/java/awt/Toolkit.java The following defines the new accessibility SPI (Service Provider Interface). jdk/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/accessibility/AccessibilitySPI.java The following are tests for the new service provider. jdk/test/javax/accessibility/AccessibilitySPI/FooProvider.java jdk/test/javax/accessibility/AccessibilitySPI/Load.java jdk/test/javax/accessibility/AccessibilitySPI/basic.sh
