Read the whole article. "Enhance the accessibility of your GUIs Build a
customizable cross-platform look and feel for visually impaired users"
should give you a clue to what its about. Java (used to?) uses Motif on
Unix. Motif does accessibility just fine, and better than most.
Claims it doesn't are baseless. Motif IS the standard that you have to
compete with.

<sarcasm> Oh. You're an expert on Motif? Then I guess you'd know.
Well, thanks for telling me. I'll pass on the news to all the people
who apparently didn't get the memo. </sarcasm> The only toolkit that's
arguably dead is Sun's OpenLook.
Your baseless "argument" sounds a bit bitter.
