Java SE Desktop - Java Accessibility Utilities

How to Download the Accessibility Utilities

If you're a general application developer, then you don't need to download the accessibility utilities. You can use the accessibility support that's already built into the JFC.

The Java Accessibility Utilities package provides support so assistive technologies can locate and query user interface objects inside a Java application running in a Java Virtual Machine. It also supports installation of "event listeners" into these objects, and provides example tools that highlight how to enable assistive technologies to interact with the Accessibility API support built into Swing components.

If you're unsure of which release to download, please see the compatibility table.

Note: You don't need to download the accessibility utilities to make your JFC programs support accessibility. If you do download the utilities, be sure to pick the version corresponding to the JFC or J2SDK release you're using. See How to Download the Accessibility Utilities for more information.

The following releases contain current versions of the accessibility tools:
