I agree with Jared. Basic functionality under eclipse is quite good. However,
some plug-in components, even including XML editors, I have tried were not so
accessible.
NOTE: I don't know if your project will call for it, but I now have a copy of
Event Studio for creating sequence and interface diagrams. While the GUI for
the tool itself does take a little use of the Jaws cursor (not keyboard access
for all functionality), the input to the diagrams is text based and the
resulting diagrams are, from what I've been told, very nice looking. Event
Helix has agreed to work with me on enhancing the screen reader friendliness of
the tool.

Jared,
Thanks for your reply. That sounds very promising. I would be using Eclipse
mainly for editing, compiling and debugging. Other things like UML and GUI
programming are not involved.
We will be using Eclipse, or some other tool, to develop firmware for an Atmel
microcontroller. The language tools come from Atmel. The debugger runs via a
BDM link, which is similar to JTag.
I will download the sample tools this week at work.
Thanks again,
Tom

The short answer is yes, the longer answer is yes with some acceptions.
I've used eclipse a lot, as well as products based on it. Things like code
editing, stepping through code in a debugger, and viewing variables work fine.
Other visual things like GUI designers and UML diagrams don't work with Jaws.
What system are you guys looking at using?
