FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1-rc"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-rc-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-rc-b19, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Java Accessibility Bridge 1.0.2

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Currently it is not possible to install the accessibility bridge into a java 1.4.1RC JVM installation. JDK 1.4.1 RC has removed a required routine from the
toolkit:
 sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.getComponentFromNativeWindowHandle
(int).

Doing a search with the accessibility bridge installer never shows the 1.4.1 JVM as a possible JVM to install into because of the missing call.

Not sure if this is by design and the accessibility bridge needs to be updated or if the JDK needs to be fixed. Certainly, this is not backward-compatible.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.4

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Run the Accessibility bridge installer.
2.Select the Search button and select all local hard drives.
3.Only pre-1.4.1 JVMs will be listed.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
In Java 1.4.0, it was possible to install the accessibility bridge. In Java 1.4.1RC, it is not.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Release Regression From : 1.4.0_01
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
