There is public API in 8u40 to support accessibility. Applications using
standard JavaFX controls can, for example, use the accessibleText
property to define the text that the screen reader will speak or the
accessibleHelp property to provide a more detailed description. These
properties have reasonable defaults, but can be overridden by
applications. Additionally, if you use the "labelFor" property to point
to a Control that the Label is associated with, the accessibility
framework will use that when the screen reader is active.
Custom controls can override the queryAccessibleAttribute,
executeAccessibleAction, and notifyAccessibleAttributeChanged methods.
As for platform support, we currently support Windows and Mac platforms.
We have no plan to make FX accessible on Linux .

I saw it, and it seems promising, but: first, there is probably, or I
heard it wrong? no public api for making accessibility related stuff...
Also, I believe there is no linux accessibility bridge as opposed to
windows and mac. And I do not know if I am wrong, or when this is
going to be implemented.

JavaFX accessibility is already implemented and was delivered in
JDK 8u40.

a lot of FULL blown Webrtc support and building something in
Javafx (like Scene Builder) that Proves Webrtc support would
be awesome. Ditto to Webgl support.

Hi Felix,
Sorry for the delay. Most of us were still pretty focused
on 8u60, but we are turning our attention to JDK 9 now.
The focus for JDK 9 is Jigsaw. The currently planned big
features (JEPs) for FX in JDK 9 are these:
JEP 253: Prepare JavaFX UI Controls & CSS APIs for
Modularization JEP 257: Update JavaFX/Media to Newer
Version of GStreamer
Related to Jigasw, we intend to look into new API for
heavily used internal methods / classes since they will no
longer be accessible otherwise. We also plan to update
WebKit at least one more time, and will likely do a few
RFEs such as better Hi-DPI support (with API control) on
Mac, Windows, Linux.
We don't currently plan any other big features for 9, but
will consider additional RFEs if they are important to
enough developers and if they fit into the time frame.

I realise we are a long way off JDK 9 still and with
crucial features such as Jigsaw still a little up in
the air but is it possible someone could itemise the
most likely new features, enhancements and bug fixes
that we will see in JavaFX when JDK 9 is released?
Of course it's purely speculation at this point but it
would assist me greatly to have some of idea of where
JavaFX is heading and which areas are seen as most
important.
Thanks,
Felix
