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 && chmod -v 644 $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/accessibility.properties && ln -v -sf $(pkg-config --variable=prefix \ ORBit-2.0)/share/jar/gnome-java-bridge.jar \ $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext
--prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0): Setting the prefix using this parameter instead of with $GNOME_PREFIX will ensure that the prefix is consistent with the installation environment and the package will be installed in the correct location.
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
