• An overview of the main properties, including of:

  • user interface elements;

  • how to get and set focus;

  • of communication mechanisms in the API;

  • a discussion of design considerations for the API (e.g. pointers to external sources of information on accessibility guidance related to using the API);

  • information on extending the API (and where this is appropriate);

  • an introduction to the programming interface of the API (including pointers to external sources of information).

  • an introduction to the Java Access Bridge for Windows and the Java Access Bridge for GNOME

It will provide this information as an introduction to the Java API to assist:

• IT system level developers who create custom controls and/or interface to them;

• AT developers involved in programming "hardware to software" and "software to software" interactions
