Hi!

I'm an target, and really enjoying this "thread", audience.
You write yout version more quickly then I'm able to answer:) Thank yo for IRC chats.

TBH I really like this effort. The accessibility toolkit as is now, is close to be useless.
This thread is changing it to be at lease used.

Instead of voting for public stoning, i would vote to usptream this. At least post to awt thread. At 
least we will see if it canbe harmfull in some way. There are much ore terribel pits in JDK then you 
nicehack :). This patch is doing what it is supposed to do, and looks good. Fingers crossed


Thank you very much for this effort!
   J.
