My employer has purchased a JAWS screen reader license so we can check for a potential new employee who is visually impaired. I tested it in all of our internal applications (mainly web applications), and everything works quite well, with the exception of one web application containing a built-in Java applet on the page. This is not an application that we have developed.
I installed Java Access Bridge and now I can no longer click / interact with this java applet. At the moment, I'm not sure that I did something wrong with my installation, or if the Java applet is not a handicap available to start with.
The screen reader vendor was somewhat useful. They just told me that the java applet should be written using Swing Class / AWT components, but I cannot verify this. I need a java applet that is known to be available for handicaps. I just need to go to the webpage and see if my screen reader can read the java applet. This will tell me if my installation is bad, or if my applet is bad.
The screen reader provider recommended downloading the Java JDK for some applets. This did not work, as our company is working with a version of Java Runtime that is newer than the current version of the JDK. JDK will not install because it will be a slide.
So ... can someone help me find a public web page with a screen-friendly Java applet that I can use to test this screen reader?
