(Get the code!)
So this just completely broke java accessibility on Ubuntu & Debian. Without any coordination with any accessibility team.
Yes, the bridge is not enabled by default, because some issues were reported in some applications. But that doesn't mean that nobody is using it.

The accessibility bridge is required by *ALL* java applications for people that need to use a screen reader to be able to use their computer. It does *not* make sense for an application to have to add this in their class path.
I had reported the bridge loading issue in Orcale Incident Report 9127367 in June 2018, and Oracle didn't manage to reproduce it. Well, now that it's completely broken in Ubuntu *and* Debian, perhaps they can realize that there is something to be fixed? As a reminder, accessibility is a *requirement* in various legislations.
