Java Applications

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

A Java application, for the purposes of the Designed for Microsoft® Windows® Logo program, is defined as any application written in the Java programming language that requires a Java virtual machine to run. This section details the requirements and exemptions applicable to Java applications.

Special Requirement for Java Applications

• Use and redistribute the 32-bit Virtual Machine for Java Applications. (Required)

Special Exceptions for Java Applications

• Java applications are not required to be OLE servers or containers.
• Java applications are temporarily exempt from providing support for high contrast, from supporting full functionality through the keyboard, and from exposing the keyboard focus.

  Popular class libraries such as AFC 4.0 will provide support for these accessibility features in the future. Thus vendors should expect this temporary exemption to be removed from future versions of the logo program.
