People have had success with QT 4.8 applications under Orca. If QT 5 doesn't
work for you, I would suggest taking it to the KDE accessibility list or the
Orca list, as it should be reliable.

What you need is the Java ATK wrapper, which should be packaged for any recent
distribution. The Git repository is git://git.gnome.org/java-atk-wrapper Other
people have had this working reliably, so I suspect there is something amiss
with your installation or versions of the various components.

Be sure that you're running Gnome and Orca 3.6.x as a starting point.
