java access bridge

Hello,
Not sure where to direct this question, but in any case:
On windows, java (jdk11) has java access bridge inside, the bridge
allowing screenreaders to be used on java swing apps.
There exists only a 64 bit version of java 11, and java access bridge
can be enabled there. Screenreader communicates with a dll probably
called c:\windows\system32\WindowsAccessBridge64.dll.
There is however a problem: at least one of the popular screenreaders is
32 bit screenreader *only*. That means java access bridge becomes
unusable with it because of the missing 32 bit version of the above dll.
However it is proven that if that dll was installed, accessibility would
work. Is it possible to add to jdk11 or later the 32 bit dll too?
