Hi Josef,
yes, the three and table navigation announcements are known issues
that we are trying
to deal with in the upcoming re-implementation of the accessibility
native code responsible
for interaction between Java and Mac OS X system Accessibility API.
The main task with the roadmap is indeed
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152350
Table part is currently on review here:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/5466
Tree part should be addressed in a consequent bug fix.
Current plan is to implement the new code in JDK 18 and then backport
it to an appropriate JDK 17 update release.
If you see any accessibility issue not being resolved by already
implemented code please file a bug
and we will look at it in addition to the current general rework.
With best regards,
/Alex

Hi,
we are using OpenJDK for our large Java Swing application. When testing our
application for Accessibility running with JDK 17 on macOS with its screen
reader VoiceOver, we realize some bigger issues (e.g. no announcements in tree
or in table). These issues also occur when testing SwingSet running the same
environment. On Windows running screen reader JAWS or NVDA, there are no such
issues.
I found the following bug task, happy to read that you are working on it:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152350
When testing with JDK 18, I noticed that some of the issues were fixed.
Is there any roadmap for the availability of the complete NSAccessibility
implementation?
Thanks and best regards,
Josef
