<Swing Dev> [12] JDK-7124285: Nothing heard from VoiceOver regarding the status of the progress bar

[Krishna Addepalli]

Hi Shashi,

The fix looks good to me. Regarding the decision of placing the line “setFocusable(true)” in the constructor of ProgressBar, I think that is a good decision since the Swing users needn’t explicitly make that call to make it accessible.

There is one problem though: 
The focus is not shown on the progress bar, and at that point, it feels like the focus is lost and may lead to some confusion.
I think it would be good if we can render a focus rect around the progress bar to let users know that it is in focus, which ofcourse can be addressed separately.

Thanks,
Krishna
