I'm not a Java dev so it's hard to say nad Apple's documentation makes it sound like accessibility for Java just happens automagically:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/04-JavaUIToolkits/JavaUIToolkits.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001901-210241-TPXREF142 Of course that's for standard UI elements and the text editing area of a word processor is all custom, so they probably need to add a bunch of helper code there.
