Hmm... I can't seem to get JAWS to work with swing applications **at all** on my machine: it doesn't read anything from inside the JFrame (only the window title).
FWIW, it seems to work as expected with "native" applications or even javafx ones, but swing apps seems to be totally opaque to the screen reader software on my env.

This is I assume a configuration issue on my end, and has likely nothing to do with this change, as I've experienced the same with 11.0.26 and 23.0.2, but it means I unfortunately won't be able to test this until I get this working.
