I am aware of the accessibility history of IntelliJ. It is getting
better though. Partly because Android Studio is also based on
IntelliJ, and for Android Studio they do seem to work a little bit
on accessibility.
For me the choice for IntelliJ is more because that is what's being
used in industry. Since all my colleagues use IntelliJ, and Eclipse
does not support the way our project is organized, I rather use what
everyone else is using (if possible).
However the problem I have is not with IntelliJ accessibility. I
think there is a problem with NVDA and the Java access bridge in
general. I was hoping that someone might have a solution to that.
I'm also using JDK8, since that's what I require for our project. I
am running the latest update (JDK/JRE 1.8.0_231), so I assume I also
have the most up-to-date access bridge included.
Best,
Henk

HI. IntelliJ Idea has had problems with accessibility since
time immemorial. Perhaps you would consider eclipse? Or if it
is Android programming you are in to, then Android Studio?
Those aren't the best accessibility wise, but they do work much
better with NVDA. Also, you might want to check if you have the
Latest version of the Java SDK as they concequently come with
the latest version of the Java Access Bridge. I have no idea of
the degree of accessibility of versions later then version 8
though because I have stuck to Java 8 and all it's builds since
it's inception. Cheers!

Hello Gene,
Unfortunately that won't help. IntelliJ is a Java application.
Therefore you need the Java Access bridge in order to be able to
use it with NVDA. The problem is that the Java Access Bridge
will only load if the accessibility service is running. Thus if
NVDA is not running while I start the application, I won't be
able to work with the program since the access bridge isn't
loaded.
On a similar note: if you restart NVDA while working with the
program, you also lose the access bridge and need to restart the
program as well.
Best,
Henk

What happens if you unload
NVDA, run the other program, then run NVDA again?

Subject: [nvda] NVDA freezes in IntelliJ
Hi,
Using NVDA 2019.2.1, NVDA randomly freezes when I open
IntelliJ IDE
(Community edition 2019.2.4).
When it happens, NVDA hangs and won't report anything (also
when
switching to other applications with alt+tab). Also IntelliJ
hangs and
will not open the current project. The only thing I can do is
to start
Windows Narrator, which does keep working, and end the
IntelliJ process
via the task manager. When the IntelliJ process is killed NVDA
unfreezes.
Is there a way to make sure, or to increase the chance, that I
can start
IntelliJ without NVDA and IntelliJ locking each other?
When NVDA is back I have the following snippet in the log
viewer:
WARNING - watchdog._watcher (10:08:48.759):
