Name of Product: Java Standard Edition 6.0Last Updated:17-Mar-2010This VPAT applies to only version 6.0 prior to 30-Jan-2018. It does not apply to any versions of Java Standard Edition after this. This VPAT has been superseded by Java Standard Edition Updated3 6.0. This assessment covers the core runtime interfaces delivered with Java SE itself; it does not address set-up, installation, servicing, templates, sample content, demonstration software, or sample code. Access to information and functionality may differ depending on the host platform, content and code development practices, and the specific end user's environment (platform, software configuration and/or deployed assistive technologies). It is the responsibility of the organization building an application with java to ensure that content and functionality being deployed meets the Section 508 requirements, by following best practices such as those available at http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/access/index.html. Non-standard and customized user interface components must be designed to expose their accessibility information to assistive technologies. Accessibility testing should be integral to and integrated throughout the development process; this may include automated test tools such as the NetBeans Accessibility Helper, and/or end user testing. Note that some disabled users running the Microsoft Windows Operating System may need to install the Java Access Bridge, available at http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/accessibility/accessbridge/index.jsp, and not all assistive technology products support the Java accessibility APIs. The information below describes this product's ability to support the applicable U.S. Section 508 standards, subject to Oracle's interpretation of those standards and the remarks in this document. For more information regarding the accessibility status of this product or other Oracle products, see http://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility or contact:accessible_ww@oracle.com. | |
