Description
I tested Mac OS X 10.10 with jdk 8u60b10 .  AT enabled.

Not a regression (on 8u40b27 also reproducble)
Can not install 8b132 because of bug in installer (it says that "You r system has Mac OS X Version 10.10.3. This product can be installed on Version 10.7.3 or later."). Looks like versions are compared in lexicographical order.

Java version applet (http://java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp) hangs with Voice over turned on.

Note that the failure usually happens after pressing the Later button, and then after pressing the Remind me Later button, but before pressing the Run button.

8u5b05 failed. I could not test b01-04. b01 failed with a security issue. b02-04 hung (after pressing the Later button), even with VO off.

8u5 fails. Once the Oracle archive servers come back on line I can check which 8u5 build introduced the failure.
24-04-2015
I found public archives here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html so will try builds between 8 fcs and 8u20.
24-04-2015
Failures: 8u20, 8u45, 8u60b10 (reported), 9b35, 9b60 OK: 8b132 (fcs) I can't try any more because the archive servers are down.

Where is the JCP on Mac?

Steps to reproduce: 1) Install 8u60b10 via dmg file 2) Turn on Voice over. 3) Turn on Java Console (click "Show Console" at Advanced tab of Java Control Panel) 4) Go to java.com and check java version via version check applet JRE always hangs with voice over turned ON JRE works good with voice over turned off

I could not reproduce this problem. Please provide detailed instructions. Also was this an upgrade scenario? If so, what was the prior version?
23-04-2015
Pete does it affect 9 ? when it was introduced?
22-04-2015
Sure, I am in progress. You reviewed this issue very fast)
22-04-2015
Does it affect 8u40? 8 GA (b132)? Please provide an info and re-open.
