Hi, JAWS will work with Java as long as the latest JRE software is installed along with Java Access Bridge 2.02. Not sure what Eclipse is or Notepad++, so cannot guarantee that it will work. JAWS is a Windows based screen reader, and as such will not work in MS DOS other than in a 'command prompt' environment. Perhaps someone else can provide information on Eclipse and Notepad++ It may also be worthwhile you downloading the demo version of JAWS (you can download v12, v13 or v14) and trying the screen reader with the above software the student would be using to see if it works.
