The Java Access Bridge package contains Java components which connect the built-in accessibility support in Java Swing applications to the GNOME Accessibility framework, specifically the Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface (AT-SPI).

Install Java Access Bridge by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
cat `pkg-config --variable=prefix \
ORBit-2.0`/share/jar/accessibility.properties \
>> $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/accessibility.properties &&
ln -v -sf `pkg-config --variable=prefix \
ORBit-2.0`/share/jar/gnome-java-bridge.jar \
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext
cat `pkg-config ...: This command appends to (or creates) the Java runtime accessibility.properties file required for Java Access Bridge.
ln -v -sf `pkg-config ...: This command creates a link from the access bridge jar file to the Java runtime library extensions directory.
Before running a Java program with the Java Access Bridge, you should ensure that your GNOME 2 installation enables CORBA traffic over IP from the ORBit2 ORB. Do this by adding the following line to ~/.orbitrc using the following command:
cat >> ~/.orbitrc << "EOF" ORBIIOPIPv4=1 EOF
