FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version " 1.7.0_17 "
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 7 Proffessional 64 bits (6.1, compilation 7601)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I discovered the bug when I used a swing application. The normal behaviour of my screen reader doesn't work. It had worked good previously (some months ago). I tried to use another swing application, but no one works with accesibility. The Java console or Glassfish server installer are included. I have checked the next:
- Java Access Bridge is correctly installed as is explained at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/accessbridge/2.0.2/setup.htm
I change the path to use the 32 bits virtual machine (same version as 64 bits machine). It didn't work too.
- Finally, I try to use the jvm included with my JDK (version 1.7 U 05). I installed the Java Access Bridge on this jvm and run the same swing application. Accesibility works OK!
I suspect that it has been some conflict with recently updates and accesibility has been blocked.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
- Install any jre 1.7 U 17.
- Install the Java Access Bridge module as it's described at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/accessbridge/2.0.2/setup.htm
- Run any swing application using a screen reader as Jaws.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The screen reader provides me information about the GUI.
ACTUAL -
The screen reader only give me the window title and doesn't provides information about where is the focus or another events.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use a previous jvm (1.7 U 05 works correctly)
