GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 100312
Hypertext link count is not available in Java apps
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
A widget in a JAVA application that uses the AccessibleHypertext interface does not show details of the total number of links available for that widget. Using the AT-POKE tool, see the hypertext details of the JEditorPane widget in 'HTMLDemo' from within the SwingSet2 JFC application. gtk+ apps are okay, as Padraig added functionality to at-poke (bug 91990).
hmm, looks like this should be 'normal' at least, not an enhancement (since it's required by the at-spi). Dar?
Updating status_whiteboard field to reflect A11Y team's assessment of accessibility impact.
Woops, don't need to track this one with the status_whiteboard field.
The problem here is that Java doesn't actually implement AccessibleHypertext for the javax.swing.text.html components.
Java bug 4856186 has been logged requesting that AccessibleHypertext be implemented on the javax.swing.text.html Container. Simlarly, Izzuezilla bug 13954 has been logged to request that AccessibleHypertext is implemented for Documents that support Hyperlinks. Closing as NOT GNOME.
I am reopening this bug as I believe that 4856186 is not a bug and there is a bug in the JABG.
