The README file that comes with the Java Accessibility Utilities is out of
date. It has:

  2. Modify the lib/awt.properties file under your JDKHOME directory (e.g.,
     /home/me/jdk1.3/jre/lib/accessibility.properties) to include the
     following line:

          AWT.assistive_technologies=JavaMonitor

     The file, jaccess-1.3/doc/awt.properties.sample, provides an example
     of what the final edited version might look like.

This needs to be updated to reflect the way that this is now done.

In JDK 1.2.2 and later, we don't use the awt.properties file, but a new file
(which generally needs to be created), 'accessibility.properties'. When using
this new file, the line should be:

  assistive_technologies=JavaMonitor

(where before, in JDK 1.1.x, we needed two lines:

  AWT.EventQueueClass=com.sun.java.accessibility.util.EventQueueMonitor
  AWT.assistive_technologies=JavaMonitor
)

This is detailed correctly in the HTML docs (see jaccess/doc/JavaMonitor.html).
