Then Michale S.'s and Stephan B.'s refactoring were pushed. That's when I finally got a got at it on a TB-39 build--and JAB is kaput. Same once the ia2 bridge build was activated on the TB-42 build of LODev 4.2.0.0beta1+, JAB goes away. (In reply to comment #26) > > Should there be an effort to reestablish JRE w/JAB AT support?

What > is still missing before we can kill JAB? The ia2 bridge is already miles beyond fidelity of the JAB. There are some nuisance issues like bracketing keyboard F6 key "sub-menues", and <TAB> vs. Cursor (U,D,L,R) movement blocks for the newer UI widget based GUI. But we are already doing much better than JAB was ever able to accomplish. Following the refactoring, Caolán has continued to work through some residuals of the AOO trunk source. So it looks like we've got the bridge in pretty good shape. I'd encourage anyone to download a seat of NVDA 2013.2 and see just where we are at. I've had solid useable IAccessible2 based AT on Windows 7 sp1 64-bit, and Windows 8 64-bit with today's build. But I did have to install MSVC++2012 32-bit runtimes. I got useable AT on Windows XP, but with NVDA AT running was getting "Fatal error: Caught unknown exceptiong: Aborting" will poke at that tomorrow to see if I can get more details on the crash. msiexec.exe /a admin installs of: Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: b32651febdaad5939250fb04f721d88952f54732 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-26_00:09:34 At this point, I'd have no concern about dumping the JAB based AT, and putting any additional effort into refining the XAccessible roles and keyboard interface with the native bridge. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
