- /**
- * AccessibleContext represents the minimum information all accessible objects
- * return. This information includes the accessible name, description, role,
- * and state of the object, as well as information about the parent and
- * children of the object. AccessibleContext also contains methods for
- * obtaining more specific accessibility information about a component.
- * If the component supports it, these methods will return an object that
- * implements one or more of the following interfaces:
- * <P><ul>
- * <li><a href="java.awt.accessibility.AccessibleAction.html">
- * AccessibleAction</a> - 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 those actions. Any object that can be manipulated should
- * support this interface.
- * <li><a href="java.awt.accessibility.AccessibleComponent.html">
- * AccessibleComponent</a> - 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><a href="java.awt.accessibility.AccessibleSelection.html">
- * AccessibleSelection</a> - the object allows its children to be
- * selected. This interface provides the standard mechanism for an
- * assistive technology to determine the currently selected children
- * as well as modify the selection set. Any object that has children
- * that can be selected should support this interface.
- * <li><a href="java.awt.accessibility.AccessibleText.html">
- * AccessibleText</a> - 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><a href="java.awt.accessibility.AccessibleValue.html">
- * AccessibleValue</a> - 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 the
- * minimum and maximum values. Any object that supports a numerical value
- * should support this interface.</ul>
- * <P>In the future, additional interfaces (e.g., AccessibleTable) may be
- * added, and the abstract class AccessibleContext will be updated
- * accordingly.
