So understand the effort to reduce the Java UNO dependencies and desire to
move to more robust solutions. But it would appear that current releases of
Oracle's Java Access Bridge is no longer functioning, so the Accessibility

Windows builds to crash.

        That is not good; marked it a most annoying bug. It'd be wonderful to
have a stack-trace from a windows build, but of course - these are not
so easy to create.

Either need to press on  with the IBM contributed IAcessible2 integration (
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39956 ) to fully eliminate JAB,

        Sure; unfortunately (as yet) the Symphony code-dump is not in a state
where that can be easily extracted for 3.6.

or roll back and revisit what we've done to ourselves and what Oracle has
done with the package that is making it incompatible.  

        Sure; that's certainly worth doing. It sounds like it started to fail
in the 3.4 to 3.5 transition - a shame that we only discovered it now.

Eitherway there is a large class of  disabled LO users  on Windows that have
been left hanging--and not just users dependent on screen readers like NVDA.

        Yep; it needs fixing. Of course - getting a good stack-trace from a
real live system with NVDA installed, where we can reproduce this is the
first step. I'm struggling with VirtualBox's persistent mangling of it's
own configuration personally so ...

        Hmm,

                Michael.
