Description Lynn Monsanto 2007-05-03 16:04:15 UTC 
Orca does not speak any of the static text in the Java ControlPanel tab pages.

1. Launch /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/ControlPanel.
2. Tab to the buttons in the General page.
3. Orca does not speak the static text for the About, Network Settings and Temporary Internet Files panels.
Comment 1 Lynn Monsanto 2007-06-06 20:21:50 UTC 
A general algorithm for speaking the text around a component would be complex, and probably error-prone. A good solution would be to write an application-specific script for the Java Control Panel that speaks the text in the same panel as the component (e.g., About button). If such a script is written, it would be done at a later date since, right now, we are only providing general Java solutions in the J2SE_access_bridge.py script.
Comment 2 Willie Walker 2007-11-01 17:58:33 UTC 
Just to add to this, what we're working with is a dialog that looks like this:

* There are three main sections which are labeled panels: "About", "Network Settings", and "Temporary Internet Files".

* Each labeled panel consists of static help text along with some buttons to open a separate dialog.  For example, the "About" panel has text that says "View version information about Java Control Panel." and a button with the label "About...".

It's an odd UI and I agree this probably should be handled with a custom script for the control panel.

Ke, is this something you could take a look at? Thanks!

Closing this because it refers to a really old version.

Feel free to open a new bug if the problem is still a problem.
