Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 070720) Java: 1.6.0_02-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_02-ea-b02 System: Linux version 2.6.5-1.358 running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Userdir: /home/jp159440/.netbeans/dev Accessible descriptions are missing in Include/Exclude dialog =============================================== Tested Window title : Configure Includes & Excludes =============================================== Results of Accessibility test Doesn't implement Accessible : - none. No Accessible name : - none. No Accessible description : Class: javax.swing.JList { Excluded Files: | } Class: javax.swing.JList { Included Files: | } Class: javax.swing.JTextField { Excludes: | } Class: javax.swing.JTextField { Includes: | } Class: org.netbeans.core.windows.services.NbDialog { Configure Includes & Excludes | } Label with LABEL_FOR not set : - none. Components with no LABEL_FOR pointing to it : - none. Components with no mnemonic : - none. Components with wrong mnemonic (mnemonic isn't ASCII , label doesn't contain mnemonic): - none.
Why does a component with a label need a separate accessible description? I would just give it the same acc desc as the label already says. After all, we presume the dialog is somehow meaningful for the average user who can see it, who is understanding the usage of the components based on the associated label. Same for the dialog - what would an acc desc provide that the regular title doesn't already? Please advise, as this makes little sense to me.
Jesse is right. There is no need of acc. description in this case.
In that case, why does the tool report such a dialog as erroneous? I am guessing there would be dozens or even hundreds of such issues in Issuezilla. Is there a document which describes exactly what the criteria for A11Y are?
