Step2、Copy “accessibility.properties” to current user folder(such as“ C:\Users\Administrator” ) and rename to “.accessibility.properties”

Step3、Add Java bridge dependencies in the step 1 folder to CLASSPATH or run with -cp in the command line. For example, there is demo Swing App from Oracle. FilechooserDemo is under the path “demo\jfc\FileChooserDemo\”.

Step4、Run with the command: “java -cp 'D:\swingset2-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar;C:\Program Files\Python\Lib\site-packages\clicknium\.lib\automation\JavaSupport\*' swingset.SwingSet2”

Step5、Before installing the extension, please close all JAVA applications. Restart VS Code after the installation the first time.
