Yes, JavaFX accessibility is being maintained for Windows and Mac. We
have no plan to ever implement accessibility for Linux.
The implementation of accessibility is in the glass windowing toolkit.
If you are interesting in exploring it, you could take a look at the
Windows and Mac implementations. Be aware that implementing
accessibility for Linux would be a fairly large project that would
require significant effort in implementation and testing. You would have
do a proof of concept / prototype before we could evaluate whether it
could be included into OpenJFX.
If you are interested in trying this, you might want to take a look at
our GitHub mirror [1], and read the CONTRIBUTING [2] page.

Hello, few questions:
- is javafx accessibility support for windows/mac that is currently
present in javafx being maintained?
- what would be required for someone to implement javafx accessibility
for other platforms such as linux? Is it supported by public api or does
it require javafx modification/contribution?
- is it planned in the future to implement linux javafx support?
