Jay is having issues sending email to the list, but wanted me to forward this to the list:
"WE4Java is, as yet, not compatible with Open Office. Open Office makes the java accessibility framework available and that is why the Java Access bridge and NVDA have some success in accessing it. However, Open Office does not actually use the Java swing controls in painting the screen. WE4Java uses a combination of the accessibility framework and extracting information directly from the java objects in order to do what it does. Therefore, it can't get everything it needs from Open Office to track and read everything correctly. My more recent efforts, when I have a minute, on WE4Java have been in trying to develop a version which is compatible with 64-bit Java runtime environments. However, that time has been extremely limited. I have considered just creating a zip of the WE4Java project source and putting it out on Dropbox and opening it up for other developers." -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Curry [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2011 8:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: WE7.5.1 and OpenOffice No, I am not. You would need to contact the author, Jay Macarty, the author noted on the app. However, it appears he has not logged into App Central for over a year.
