I am creating a tree and using the style check.

Tree elementTree = new Tree(sc, SWT.CHECK);

The items in this tree do not report the checkbox state 
while using JAWS or other screen readers.

Thank-you for pointing out the problem. There are several possible ways to fix 
this - we need to think about what we want to do.

Fixed in the latest code. Should be available in the next build.

Carolyn I noticed this was not in the 5/14 build by parsing the build notes. I 
may have missed it. Do you know what build exactly it will be in.

Actually, it is in the 0514 build - the code change went in right before the 
build, but the build notes change did not make it in <g>. I wouldn't recommend 
taking 0514 however because there are many problems with it. If you have been 
following the eclipse-dev mailing list and you install all of the recommended 
patches, then maybe 0514 is usable. Personally, I haven't switched to it yet.
