The class javax.accessibility.AccessibleRole at <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/accessibility/AccessibleRole.html> defines a few dozen roles for custom UI components. As far as I know, WAI-ARIA roles can be mapped to either a Java Swing component that implements the interface javax.accessibility.Accessible or to a role in the class javax.accessibility.AccessibleRole, with the exception of the following WAI-ARIA roles: * article * banner * complementary * contentinfo * definition * directory (might map to LIST) * document * heading * log * main * marquee * math * navigation * note * presentation * radiogroup * region * timer * treegrid * treeitem * (and abstract roles such as section, which must not be mapped via the standard role mechanism for the accessibility API) I don't know of a Java equivalent for: * aria-autocomplete (property), * aria-relevant Best regards, Christophe Strobbe >Dan, maybe extending Java annotations would be an interesting direction for >making RDF more powerful (IE extend to programmable logic) > >Anyway, if anyone does work on it, please tell me.. > > >Thanks > >Lisa > > > > > > >----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Brickley" <danbri@danbri.org> >To: <wai-xtech@w3.org> >Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 4:40 PM >Subject: Fwd: [FSF] GNU Project appoints director of access technology >software and publishes GNU Accessibility Statement > > >Looks like a positive step... > >---------- Forwarded message ---------- >From: Peter Brown <info@fsf.org> >Date: Tue, May 11, 2010 at 2:42 PM >Subject: [FSF] GNU Project appoints director of access technology >software and publishes GNU Accessibility Statement >To: info-fsf@fsf.org, info-press@fsf.org > > >GNU Project appoints director of access technology software and >publishes GNU Accessibility Statement > >http://www.fsf.org/news/chris-hofstader-gnu-access-technology-director (...) -- Christophe Strobbe K.U.Leuven - Dept. of Electrical Engineering - SCD Research Group on Document Architectures Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 bus 2442 B-3001 Leuven-Heverlee BELGIUM tel: +32 16 32 85 51 http://www.docarch.be/ --- "Better products and services through end-user empowerment" http://www.usem-net.eu/ --- Please don't invite me to LinkedIn, Facebook, Quechup or other "social networks".
