Ar, at the time I didn't realize, and wasn't aware that the assignment was in fact to create a console application. If I had known this before then fine, I would have attempted Java, but for all I knew Java programs were completely inaccessible without the Java AccessBridge, and I was clueless on things like Swing and SWT. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Octavian Râsnita" <orasnita@xxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2009 11:52 AM Subject: Re: How To Use Eclipse JAVA programs can be used with Jaws, no matter if they are done with Eclipse or Notepad. All the command line programs should be accessible for Jaws and all the programs that use SWT GUI. The programs that use SWT are more accessible than those made with Visual Studio, and they are also better portable. The programs that use SWING gui are not accessible at all with Jaws. The user must install Java Access Bridge if he wants to have a little accessibility, but that accessibility is not extraordinary. I found Eclipse very easy to configure even though I don't like the low level languages like Java or C# and I use it very seldom. An alternative for creating Java apps can be any text editor, but this way if the programs use more libraries it would be harder to type each time a long command line for compiling the current program.
