Issue : VO doesn't announce Tab items of a JTabbedPane as RadioButton which is wrong.

Analysis : That is due to the role mapping of tab items as NSAccessibilityRadioButtonRole in JavaAccessibilityUtilities.m file. Since the accessibility role description is fetched in accessibilityRoleDescription API if CommonComponentAccessiblity.m file, the sub-role passed as a parameter is nil, returned value is RadioButton..

Proposed Fix : Fix is to get the correct accessibility role description from Appkit, we should pass NSAccessibilityTabButtonSubrole in the subrole parameter and that returns the accessibility role as Tab and is announced correctly by VO.

Testing : Manual test case has been added to verify the fix.

Мне кажется было бы лучше просто переопределить:

- (NSString *)accessibilityRoleDescription

В src/java.desktop/macosx/native/libawt_lwawt/awt/a11y/TabButtonAccessibility.m

It seems it would be better to simply override:

- (NSString *)accessibilityRoleDescription

in src/java.desktop/macosx/native/libawt_lwawt/awt/a11y/TabButtonAccessibility.m
