33  * if an object supports the AccessibleExtendedComponent interface by first
34  * obtaining its AccessibleContext
35  * and then calling the
36  * {@link AccessibleContext#getAccessibleComponent} method.
37  * If the return value is not null and the type of the return value is
38  * AccessibleExtendedComponent, the object supports this interface.
