• 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;
