netbeans can not be used by a blind person. Just download it and you will hear what I am saying.

Hi Anna,I spoke with a sighted person, (David), who is quite knowledgable in the Java arina. I was confused that the IDE would make so much difference. Of course, I didn’t ask him about the accessibility of NetBeans. He probably wouldn’t be much help with that issue, but he did have a question. An excerpt from my e-mail to him, and his reply is below. Would you mind trying to answer his question?Thanks, Pamela -----Original Message----- From: William & Pamela [mailto:pmcoats00@xxxxxxx] David,I was reading some e-mail I got from a listserv for blind users, and one of the e-mails said that her office is requiring her to use NetBeans instead of Eclipse. She said that they told her that web applications built and deployed from Eclipse are not compatible with the ones created from Netbeans.I wouldn't have thought the IDE would make that much difference. Does it?Thanks, Pamela -----Original Message----- Pam:Not so much the way we do it, but some people make considerably more use of the automated features of the IDE, and that might be what she means. You could ask, if you wouldn't mind - I would be interested in the details of her opinion. It is for precisely this reason that I don't use IDE "features" - they result in inconsistent code, which in the long run (maintenance, I mean) results in lower productivity, whatever the temporary gains.From: program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ] On Behalf Of Anna GillerSent: Friday, June 12, 2009 11:22 AM To: program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-java] Eclipse and Netbeans Hi Everyone! I’ve been using Eclipse while learning Java.Now I need to do real work, and I’m required to use Netbeans, because it’s what my shop is using. They say that web applications built and deployed from Eclipse are not compatible with the ones created from Netbeans.Does anyone have an experience working with Netbeans? How accessible is it? Thank you very much, Anna
