Paul, An idea I have, that I sometimes use on websites that request I press "More…" to read the rest of a review, for example, is to physically move the trackpad to the item with my finger, just as someone visually would, then click the trackpad once or twice, depending on the situation. One click usually does the trick, it seems. This has worked for me where the other two options you mentioned have not. To use this option, you need to set your VoiceOver preferences to zero on announce mouse focus after delay. I think that is what it is called. I believe it is under the navigation menu option in VO Utility.
I hope this helps. I do not know if it is Java specific, though. Please let us know how it goes. It sounds like a wonderful service, and I particularly appreciate the back-up option.
