RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Latest Libo Won't Play Nice with my JRE

Hello.
I uninstalled the components in the order in which you suggested.  Using another installed screen 
reader I reinstalled all software in the order suggested and ensured that the a.t. support checkbox 
was checked when installing Libreoffice 3.6.  I also enabled JAB via the control panel under 
accessibility settings but I still find that I have no access with LO 3.6 and NVDA 2012.2.1.

Kevin,
 
Golly. I hate to keep harping on this.  And I know it must seem like we are asking you to jump 
through hoops.
 
But as Tom notes the effort is to clear it everything off and start clean from a known state. In 
your latest attempt you've ended up non-functional.
 
To have a correct outcome, the install order IS important. LibreOffice gets install LAST.
 
Remove in this order:  
 
  1.   LibreOffice 
   2.  NVDA 
   3.  Java Access Bridge 
   4.  Java Runtime Environment
 
Install in this order
 
    1. Java Runtime Environment
    2. Java Access Bridge
    3. NVDA
    4. LibreOffice
 
But note this:  with JRE 1.7u7, the Java Access Bridge v2.0.3 is installed automatically and just 
needs to be enabled with a "jabswitch.exe /enable" command.   Only for JRE 1.6 do you still need to 
use the JWin utility to install and configure Java Access Bridge v2.0.2.  
 
In other words you should no longer use the JWin program with JRE 1.7 greater than update 6. 
Rather, simply enable the built in Java Access Bridge and then install NVDA and finally LibreOffice.
 
Also, during LibreOffice 3.6 installation, on the last page of Installation Wizard configuration 
"Ready to Install the Program" there will be two check boxes 1) "Create a start link on desktop", 
and 2) "Support assistive technology tools"  Check that box and then select the Install button.
 
The assistive technology checkbox is off by default--and must be checked to enable assistive 
technology in LibreOffice without navigating the Tools -> Options -> Accessibility and Tools -> 
Options Java menus.  
 
Without the Accessibility "Support assistive technology tools" checked, NVDA will read the outside 
frame elements of LibreOffice-but will not be able to read or navigate text within the components.
 
Stuart

Hello,

OK I uninstalled Lo, uninstalled the java7 TM update I think it was installed nvda I can't see 
anything that relates to access bridge, because the java7 just downloads it with window's anyway. 
rebooted the PC installed lo, installed the downloaded java.exe 32 bit it is version 7,rebooted the 
PC but before doing so checked that the java switch was checked it was, then reinstalled Nvda I 
used the portable version of nvda this dose not use anything that Java would be needing anyway. 
It's getting late so struggling to keep focused, anyway the result is that I did not get lo working 
oh nearly forgot after rebooting but before installing nvda again I downloaded the jwin program ran 
it and ran the have ferret.exe file as well, but as said nothing what now? thanks in advance but I 
am about to give up If I hear that anyone else has this latest stable version running with java7 
and the access bridge then I am happy to take instruction on how to fix it, but if not I think I 
have reached the end of the road.

I have a feeling it is a problem with lo and u as well as has been said on the Nvda list. but I 
hope to be proved wrong thanks for all your help all who have tried to help.
