The developers have resolved the LibO source code issue for Assistive Technologies for Windows builds using Java Accessibility API and the Java Access Bridge mappings.
Unfortunately, not quite in time for the LibO 3.6.3 release that is now building from the rc2 code base for a publish target Oct 29 - Nov 4th. The fix WILL be in place for the LibO 3.6.4 builds due for publishing the week of Dec 3 - 9. In the interim, LibO 3.5.7 Accessibility for Windows users is intact. Or, for the intrepid willing to work with the -LOdev-3-6 developmental code, daily builds of the -3-6 Windows branch are available at this link: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Win-x86_9-Voreppe/libreoffice-3-6/ It is limited to language support for English, French and Spanish and lacks a few of the extensions but is otherwise pretty stable. But if you are really adventuresome , the Developers are always looking for folks willing to test and report on the current builds of the master developmental code. The daily builds systems for Windows (each a TinderBox) are a little erratic, for example waiting on a sucessful build of the current master code to test accessibility in LOdev 3.7, but the Devs get that sorted out pretty quickly. And they do appreciate getting earlier feedback. Here is the link to the daily TinderBox builds of master http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ <http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/> where forWindows build of LOdev 3.7 you'll want TinderBox 6 Win-x86@6 (MSVC) <http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Win-x86@6/> or TinderBox 7 Win-x86@7-MinGW (MinGW) <http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Win-x86@7-MinGW/> . The build time is the folder name, you'll want to download the latest and if a site is really old, it means there were build problems with that server--for example the two TinderBoxes 6 & 7 are both very stale due to an error in the build system that is being worked on. All agree that catching the problem with lack Java Accessibility support should not have made it past the first release of the LibO 3.6 branch! Having more users comfortable with working with the developmental builds will help a lot when the call comes for testing. Please do help.
