Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Latest LibreOffice and Java access Bridge

Hello,

I would like to take the time to thank the devs for working on this and 
mostly thank Stewart who has worked very hard on this. I can now confirm 
the program now dose work, it seems to be a little sluggish and I did 
have to use the registry file thanks so much for this stewart. but we 
are getting there I can confirm that the check box dose not work until 
you run the .reg file but anyway it seems to be working.

I used the Ninite Java installer so maybe this is why it seems a bit 
sluggish? but it still works keep up the good work all who have worked 
on this and I hope the check box dose work in the next version. running 
32 bit window's8 if this of any help the version is window's8 pro. 
thanks again a very happy user but will be even more happy if and when 
the check box works, and there is no need to run this registry fix.
