RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] where's the accessibility?

Simon,

Everything with Java Accessibility for the 4.0beta1 Windows build is working correctly--to the 
extent that Java Access Bridge mappings allow and slow JRE performance allows.

But, I have found installation is more consistent if you first remove per-user LibreOffice 
configurations (both LO3 and LO-dev4) and to clear any Windows Registry entries for LibreOffice.  
Also, in advance of the installation you should enable the Oracle Java Access Bridge support either 
from the Ease of Access Center, or from a command prompt "Run as Administrator" where you enter 
"jabswitch -enable".

Then, checking the "Support Assistive Technologies tools" during install will write a system 
Environment Variable SAL_ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED and set it to value of "1".

Since it is a system wide variable, in order for it to apply to your user account you must log off 
and log back on.

When the value asserts, it will enable Java Runtime Environment with Java Access Bridge enabled, 
and will toggle on the Tools -> Options -> Accessibility checkbox.

An alternative to using the checkbox during installation is to create and run a Widows Registry 
batch file for an account needing assistive technologies with this content:

---<snip>---
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LibreOffice\Accessibility\AtToolSupport]
"SupportAssistiveTechnology"="true"
---<snip>---

I've provided a bit more detail in this Wiki
