Actually reading the code in java.awt.Toolkit, I realize that
java-atk-wrapper as it is now can work. For any class that is declared
as assistive_technologies and does not implement the
AccessibilityProvider, the java.awt.Toolkit has a static method
fallbackToLoadClassForAT which loads happily the AtkWrapper with the
class name from our java-atk-wrapper.jar.

So, this solution, although maybe not as elegant as that, could work.

Cheers

Fridrich

P.S.: It is always possible to implement the AccessibilityProvider by
dropping the attached file to the wrapper/org/GNOME/Accessibility/
directory and also craft inside the JAR file a
META-INF/services/javax.accessibility.AccessibilityProvider with content
"org.GNOME
.Accessibility.AtkWrapper"
