It's not so much how you do it as the SDK you use. Accessibility is not
supported in GCJ, the default Java on Linux. You need to download the
Java SDK for Linux from www.sun.com, install it (easy because of rpm),
and then adjust your run-time environment so that the Sun Java is
sourced, rather than GCJ. A standard expedient for the latter
consideration is to just put Sun Java up front in your path.
