I hope to officially release this program soon, and welcome additional 
feedback on this beta version which is available at

I hope that JWin helps to open up more Java applications on Windows by 
making it easy to add accessibility support.  More info about the 
program is below, including a link to its complete documentation.

----------

JWin is a program for detecting and installing the Java Runtime 
Environment (JRE) on Windows, as well as the associated Java Access 
Bridge (JAB), which is needed for full accessibility of Java 
applications to assistive technologies used by persons with disabilities.

The program will create a directory containing JAB reference material, a 
log file, and an uninstallation program to later remove the JAB, if 
desired.  It looks for locations of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), 
and offers to install the JAB into them.  Three possible directories are 
identified:  (1) the directory of a 32-bit JRE; (2) the directory of a 
64-bit JRE; and (3) the directory referenced by the JAVA_HOME 
environment variable.

The program will open a log file when done, detailing the actions 
taken.  The JAB may be installed into any JRE location on the computer 
by first setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the 
relevant directory before running the executable.

If no JRE is found by the program, it will offer to go to the web page 
for installing Java.
