I updated this fix with the additional changes for the accessibility files.
There's a little bit of clean up as some declarations were unused and also these files shared a single defintion of some classes across files which were mostly unncecessary. One class I made static and declared per-file which is cleaner,
Also the only A11Y reference in AWTView was moved into its only call site.
With these changes I think the desktop module is now 100% free of the JNFCall* pattern and the *CACHE* pattern
I re-ran our full automated headful jtreg test suite and everything passed. I also ran VoiceOver and ran through SwingSet2 without seeing any issues although I am not sure what to expect for this so it would be best if @azuev-java checked it out.
