a note, on UML diagrams, I have an application on my grab bag site that is a 
useable but uncompleted UML tool for the VI.

I use no add-on scripts for Eclipse with Jaws. For window-Eyes, I do have a 
set file defined because some of the commonly used eclipse short-cut keys 
are also Window-Eyes keys. For example, in Eclipse, you can press 
shift+ctrl+e to bring up a list of all your open editor windows in a list. 
You can then just arrow to the one you want and hit enter to go to that edit 
window. Unfortunately, Window-Eyes also uses shift+ctrl+e as one of its 
hotkeys.

NOTE: One nice thing about using shift+ctrl+e is that there will be an 
asterisk beside any program name which has been modified but which hasn't 
been saved as yet. Therefore, when you have a number of classes up in editor 
windows, as I often do, you can quickly find out which ones have been 
updated but not yet saved/compiled.

Of course, there are some eclipse plug-in features, such as UML drawing 
tools, that are not accessible. However, I have found the majority of the 
Eclipse features to be accessible without any special scripting. You just 
have to learn how to navigate to where you want to be.

Hi Jay,
wonderful features ... I think I've got what I was looking for.
Eclipse, it's got all the features I'm used to of in visual studio.
Guess what? I've downloaded Eclipse for java enterprise application 
development (170 mb or so). Is there any jaws script for Eclipse required to 
have these features accessible for VIs?

Thanks,
Varun
