SYNOPSIS

Accessibility support for Javaws Cache viewer

OPERATING SYSTEMS
-----------------
All (tested on Windows and Linux)

PATCH BASE

The attached patch is based on JDK 7u3-b03.


DESCRIPTION
-----------
Javaws Cache viewer does not adhere to the following Licensee's software accessibility guidelines:

#1.1 Provide keyboard equivalents for all actions.
#2.2 Provide semantic information about user interface objects. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
------------------
1. Launch Javaws Cache Viewer by "javaws -viewer"
2. Use any accessibility tool to read the name and description of the controls shown

Observation:
Many controls do not have descriptions, and mnemonic is not set for the close button

FIX DESCRIPTION
---------------
Fix includes changes to three files CacheViewer.java, CacheTable.java and Deployment.java:

- CacheViewer.java, CacheTable.java
  Call to set accessible name and description for the control we miss out accessible information

- Deployment.java
  Add additional string to support adding accessible name or description
