@Jean-Phillippe, For the 4.2 release, the LibreOffice ESC elected to keep support of JRE Java Accessibility API using the Java Access Bridge.
The IAccessible2 based Assistive Technology support is activated from Tools --> Options --> Advanced Optional (unstable) options 'Enable experimental features' check box. Navigate to that panel and check the box, then restart LibreOffice. When it comes back up it will be running with IAccessible2 enabled AT support. The next LibreOffice release, 4.3 --and the current 'master' builds-- have already removed support for Java accessibility bridge based AT support, as has been done for the Apache OpenOffice project for their upcomming AOO 4.1 release. The IAccessible2 AT will interact with current JAWS or NVDA screen reader support. WindowEyes 8.4 does not render either projects use of IAccessible2 correctly.

So I'd like you to make a point for me about accessibipty in libreoffice 4.2. Does it need Java Access Bridge? I had understood no, but without it, I cannot access to the menubar and interact with Writer. Does it work with Jaws? And NVDA? Is there a mandatory checkbox in Options menu? Does it make LibreOffice accessible without Java Access Bridge? Thanp for all your answers.
