Java is accessible assuming the requirements for accessibility are met. If you are developing a graphical application in java for Linux or Windows the application must be linked against the accessible swing classes. In addition the Windows and Linux java accessibility bridges must be installed to the java run time environment in order for the screen reader to to interface successfully with the application. Finally,you will need an accessible development tool for java. The Sun j2sdk for Windows and Linux which works on the command line is vary accessible. There are Windows based ides such as jcreator and in Linux the eemacs ide for java which work with speech. Hth.
