Prerequisites
- You should get the Java Access Bridge for Windows. What you get is an executable file that starts an InstallShield installer.
Installation
- Start the executable, you will get a prompt that you have to be administrator to install. Do not confirm this dialog yet. (You can also use a parameter, e.g.
/x
or/Va
to force the installer to bring up some dialog that has to be confirmed before the temporary files are removed).
- Go to your Temporary folder. There you should find a directory starting with
_is
.
- Inside this directory there is an
.msi
package. Copy this package somewhere else.
- Quit the installation by confirming the dialog of the installer.

[D:\temp]
- Now, you can unpack the files of the
.msi
package by starting the installer with the/a
option. Note, that you need administrative permissions or some kind ofsudo
even for that. You will get a dialog with a destination folder. The files are then installed into that folder instead of into%PROGRAMFILES%\Java\jre_xxx\lib
.
Now you have the necessary files to use the Java Access Bridge.
Using the Access Bridge with OOo
- Copy the file
accessibility.properties
to%UserProfile%
and add a dot at the beginning of the filename (the Unix-convention for rc files residing in your home directory).
copy accessibility.properties %UserProfile%\.accessibility.properties
- Copy the
*.dll
files into the program folder of your OOo installation.
copy *.dll D:\MyOOoInstallation\program
- copy the
*.jar
files somewhere, e.g. the classes subdirectory of the OOo program directory.
copy *.jar D:\MyOOoInstallation\program\classes
