FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT 4.0

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
getAccessibleIcon returns correctly on a JLabel but for an
AccessibleChild of a JList whose cell renderer is a JLabel
(with an ImageIcon) the getAccessibleIcon returns null.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Create a JList whose cell renderer returns JLabels with Icon
2.Get AccessibleContext of JList, get AccessibleChild
3.Get AccessibleContext of Child and use to call
getAccesssibleIcon


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected to get the AccessibleIcon.. just like if it was
called on the JLabel itself.
Actual: null

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Wrap the AccessibleJList and the AccessibleJListChild to return
the AccessibleIcon.. see code AccJList above.

EVALUATION Committing to Tiger since this requires an API change to implement the AccessibleIcon interface on JList.AccessibleJList. ###@###.### 2002-11-05 This bug will not be fixed in Tiger since it requires an API change and such changes are not being approved unless there is sufficient business justification. This bug does not cause a significant accessibility problem because it only effects icon information for a JList. ###@###.### 2003-03-26 This bug is desirable to fix in Tiger.
