CoLinux-and-Speakup?

[Tony Baechler]

I just upgraded to 7.11 and it isn't true.  Yes, there's a script called 
we4java, but it doesn't use the Java Access Bridge.  Perhaps I'm doing 
something wrong, but I never got it to do anything with two different 
versions of the script and the Sun Java latest JRE.  You can only use 
one accessibility plugin with Sun Java at a time, so it's either Java 
Access Bridge with NVDA or we4java and no speech.  You can guess which I 
chose.  For the first time in Windows, I was able to create a database 
completely independently with NVDA and OpenOffice.org.  To keep this on 
topic, it's great because I can access that same database in Linux with 
Orca, once I get it set up.
