So for the old API, you will return JavaComponentAccessibility and for the new, you will return ButtonAccessibility which will extend CommonComponentAccessibility and implement NSAccessibilityButton, etc? WIll it work?

Yes. That's the way. I mean - that's the plan. I already tested it on couple of components and it works just fine.

Not right now. I'm trying to do the minimal implementation and so far in my testing i haven't found that anyone calls that selector under any circumstances. OTOH the current implementation is in no way a complete one and selectors will be added during the component peers implementation phase. I'm trying to reuse as much code from the original class as possible but for streamlining purposes if there's no corresponding function i can use i am writing this function as a new one, because i do not want to modify the behavior of the existing functions. This should streamline the last merge in this feature which should be a general cleanup of the existing code and removal of unused functions and refactoring of the used ones to the new API.
