From a discussion with the a11y team: WizardDescriptor: http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/wizards_styleguide/wizard.html An array of innerPanes are passed to WizardDescriptor and each innerPane should have accessibleDescription related to content of innerPane. This means each WizardDescriptor.Panel's return from getComponent() will be used to set the description. In addition, the open ide core support will be responsible for concatenating the step titles to the a11y description of the component. That way, the component could have a description which is used if it is shown in a gui somewhere not in the context of a wizard and if it is put in a wizard, the step title will automatically be added to the beginning of the description.
will be handled by A11Y action team
Accessible description of wizard dialog is composed from step title and accessible description of the step (WD.Panel.getComponent().getAC().getAD()).
