Hi Tedd,

NetBeans IDE 8.1 released under Oracle exactly 3 years ago is=20
accessibility compliant as per this VPAT:

http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/t2-5949.html

Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0 was not tested for accessibility compliance but=20
I strongly believe it does not differ much from 8.1 version when it=20
comes to accessibility.

Hope this helps,

-Jirka
