implementing javafx accessibility for linux

[Kevin Rushforth]

Yes, JavaFX accessibility is being maintained for Windows and Mac. We 
have no plan to ever implement accessibility for Linux.

The implementation of accessibility is in the glass windowing toolkit. 
If you are interesting in exploring it, you could take a look at the 
Windows and Mac implementations. Be aware that implementing 
accessibility for Linux would be a fairly large project that would 
require significant effort in implementation and testing. You would have 
do a proof of concept / prototype before we could evaluate whether it 
could be included into OpenJFX.

If you are interested in trying this, you might want to take a look at 
our GitHub mirror [1], and read the CONTRIBUTING [2] page.
