Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2011-01-23 12:40:02 EST 
SWT has an Accessibility API that serves as a bridge between application code and assistive technology clients that many platforms provide.
However, it seems that not all SWT ports actually implement this API. E.g. the Motif port provides the 'emulated' accessibility API that just has empty methods.
RWT could do the same an provide an 'emulated' API. If interest in the community for an actually useful implementation arises, this can still be done.

Now RWT provided an 'emulated' API like motif. Changes are in CVS HEAD.
