[JAWS-Users] Accessibility of Java (JDK) installation
While installing Java (JDK 8) under Windows 10, I discovered that JAWS was unable to read the dialogues of the installation software. A colleague helped me to complete the installation. I then invoked the "jabswitch -enable" command as noted in the Java accessibility documentation, which is supposed to enable the Java Access Bridge. After dooing so however, the Java Control Panel (presumably a Java application that is included in the Java package) was still not accessible with JAWS. The machine is running JAWS 17. Have others encountered this problem? Is there a known fix? I need to run at least one Java application, although it may not be using the Java SWING components and thus it may be accessible anyway - I'll probably have an opportunity to find out tomorrow. It's actually the Cisco WebEx Meeting application, which I want to use for certain meetings that I attend.

The switch... Did you go to start search for ease of access then Use computer without a display here arrow down and make sure the Java access bridge is checked if not check it and tab to "ok" Then give it a go Robin -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jason White Sent: May 11, 2016 6:15 PM To: Jaws-Users Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of Java (JDK) installation While installing Java (JDK 8) under Windows 10, I discovered that JAWS was unable to read the dialogues of the installation software.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of Java (JDK) installation
Hi, I'm told that for Java to work with JAWS, you need to have both 32- and 64-bit versions of Java installed on the computer. I've had this non-working of Java with JAWS issue; and next time, I'll install both Java versions and then try it again. -Original Message- From: Jason White Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2016 1:14 AM To: Jaws-Users Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of Java (JDK) installation While installing Java (JDK 8) under Windows 10, I discovered that JAWS was unable to read the dialogues of the installation software.
