<Swing Dev> [12] Review Request: 8133713 [macosx] Accessible JTables always reported as empty

[Krishna Addepalli]

Hi Sergey,

I imported the patch and tested it locally. It does report the number of rows/columns, table description.
However, it reads out the text in the current cell the first time it is focused, but not after that. 
Looking at the code changes, I could follow that you have implemented functions to get the row and column information, but couldn’t see any function related to getting the text out of the selected cell. Could you explain that?
Also, do you plan to include the example in the JBS as a test case?

Thanks,
Krishna
