- * AccessibleContext represents the minimum information all accessible objects

- * and state of the object, as well as information about its parent and
- * children. AccessibleContext also contains methods for
- * obtaining more specific accessibility information about a component.
- * If the component supports them, these methods will return an object that
- * implements one or more of the following interfaces:
- * <P><ul>
- * <li>{@link AccessibleAction} - the object can perform one or more actions.
- * This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive
- * technology to determine what those actions are and tell the object
- * to perform them. Any object that can be manipulated should
- * support this interface.
- * <li>{@link AccessibleComponent} - the object has a graphical representation.
- * This interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive
- * technology to determine and set the graphical representation of the
- * object. Any object that is rendered on the screen should support
- * this interface.
- * <li>{@link AccessibleSelection} - the object allows its children to be
- * selected. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an
- * assistive technology to determine the currently selected children of the object
- * as well as modify its selection set. Any object that has children
- * that can be selected should support this interface.
- * <li>{@link AccessibleText} - the object presents editable textual information
- * on the display. This interface provides the standard mechanism for
- * an assistive technology to access that text via its content, attributes,
- * and spatial location. Any object that contains editable text should
- * support this interface.
- * <li>{@link AccessibleValue} - the object supports a numerical value. This
- * interface provides the standard mechanism for an assistive technology
- * to determine and set the current value of the object, as well as obtain its
- * minimum and maximum values. Any object that supports a numerical value
- * should support this interface.</ul>
