>JWin is a free, open source program for detecting and installing the 
>Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on Windows, together with the Java 
>Access Bridge (JAB), which is needed for full accessibility of 
>Java-based applications to assistive technologies used by persons 
>with disabilities.
>
>After confirming user intent, 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 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 complete, 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.
>
>Full documentation for this program is also available online at
