Description pslechta 2008-03-28 16:03:30 UTC 
Accessibility Checker reports errors for components that are not visible to the user (even if Test -> Only test showing
components checkbox is checked).

When some dialog contains javax.swing.JSpinner component (which somehow embeds javax.swing.JFormattedTextField
component) then error is generated, but the developer cannot make accessible the inner component of JSpinner. This may
be also problem of SDK.

See Issue 131339 for more details and for screenshot.
Comment 1 pslechta 2008-03-28 16:15:08 UTC 
JSpinner uses JFormattedTextField internally for spinner text formatting (see javadoc for JSpinner or source code). In
this case, the JFormattedTextField is not directly accessible by the user, so there is no need to set a11y name and
description for this inner component. The user of A11Y checker should not be confused by reporting this as a problem.
