Improving/Enhancing Accessibility Support on Windows

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

I'd like to inform you that we (BestSolution.at) are currently 
partnering with another company (dvhaus.de) to allow JavaFX applications 
leverage the complete Window UI Automation API for OpenJFX applications 
*running on Windows*.

The main target of our work is to provide best accessibility support for 
the Canvas-Node, which is used by our partner company to implement a 
comprehensive text editor.

I don't want to go too deep into the topic, but we explicitly decided:
a) not to implement the support into the current cross-platform
    accessibility API

b) provide 100% UI Automation support (ruling out a cross-platform API
    for now)

Of course we know that we are relying on internals and undocumented APIs 
to intercept the OpenJFX Accessibility API calls and take over control 
if requested.

Long story short - the sources are available at
