In order to use any 'java' environments you will probably need to have the java access bridge downloaded too. I am currently having problems with the one java based program that I use regularly, but I think that is because I upgraded the access bridge . So what is java? Java is a environment that runs on top of other windows operating systems and provides common functionality no matter if it is a Unix, PC, Amiga ...
In order to do this, Java uses its own menus and controls . With a program that was designed using appropriately new java code, the access bridge will link Jaws into the java environment translating the native java keyboard and mouse and display information into a style that accessibility programs like ZoomText , Jaws, Windows Eyes should understand. Installing java will not break jaws , but there is a good chance that unless the person that developed the Java code tested it with Jaws that it will not work. One other thing to know... The JRE comes in several versions from 1.1 to 1.5.1 last I checked. Some java code will only work well with one specific JRE so my work computer currently has 3 or more JRE's installed on it.

I have got brave enough to try a demo of the software which is related to the distance learning program, but before I run it I am required to do a browser tune up and when I did that I got a message indicated I needed to install the java run time environment or something like that Was wondering if any one might have a clue if that might be harmful to jaws. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
