Please review the following: Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8161483 Patch: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ptbrunet/JDK-8161483/webrev.00/
This is a followon to the patch for JDK-8145207 [macosx] JList, VO can't access non-visible list items In order to fixJDK-8145207the AccessibleAction interface was needed for JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild but a backport of this fix has been requested and the released public API can not be changed in 8u or earlier. The workaround for JDK-8145207 is to create and use a private subclass of JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild, JList.AccessibleJList.ActionableAccessibleJListChild. The downside of this fix is that it returns a subclass of the JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild. If a user overrides the class and returns from its code it will not inherit the AccessibleAction behavior. For JDK 9 the ActionableAccessibleJListChild subclass should be removed and the AccessibleAction implementation moved to JList.AccessibleJList.AccessibleJListChild. TiA, Pete
