Hi all, @Steven: thx for the links. I'll try to build the openjfx project on the windows 7 notebook and test the sample apps with NVDA then. Today i tried the latest ea of jdk1.8.0_20 and sample apps with nvda 14.2. Unfortunately i was not able to read anything except the window title. I've just installed the jdk, changed my JAVA_HOME and tried to run e.g. the ensemble.jar $ java -jar ensemble.jar -Djavafx.accessible.force=true
Well i'll try it again by means of building javafx from source and post my results back to the list.
