Ok, here I am with hat in hand. I / we need help in the JAVA world and more 
specifically with Eclipse.

As the messages below point out, we have a number of very talented scripter's 
on this list, naming a few such as Jamal and Travis hopefully would stir a  
sympathetic response from both. 

We have an IDE that more or less is accessible, uses the native widgets and is 
at least in most cases a Windows based IDE. I need to essentially clean it up 
and have a few things announced. I'm willing to do most if not all the work but 
I need some guidance from the scripting gurus. Anyone willing to take me on as 
an apprentice?

Jim, 

Remember here, LOL, I'm still pretty much just a beginner at scripting as well. 
I'm just enough further down the path that I can make REALLY BIG screw ups. 
<smile> It would be nice to bounce some of this off Jamal on the programming 
list.
He is a VERY good scripter. He was one of those instrumental in the development 
of the script set for Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx.
He could probably shed some interesting insights on the subject. 

Another person would be Travis Roth, another VS20xx developer and good scripter.

Unfortunately, my favorite source of knowledge has returned to the bowels of FS 
and they don't let him out any more to talk with us mortals. <grin> He is the 
one that I would consider the ultimate wizard of scripting. I wish I had enough 
$$$s to have his time for a week to look into this and provide some suggestions 
and guidance.

Anyway, there you have it from my perspective.

Btw, you are talking about Dallas the TV show? Better yet I even have a brother 
named Bobby. How about that? Lol

JR:

...just as a passing thought, each time I hear your name JR, I'm reminded of JR 
Ewing.

I've begun to look at the scripting but the coloring of a commented line 
doesn't appear to be a control nor object. ...but I'm a beginner here so what 
pointers would you offer to get me up and going?

Jim,

 

Also remember, part of the issue is that we are not dealing  with the access 
bridge here. We are, as I understand it, are using the native accessibility of 
whatever Eclipse is using. If Jaws sees it as a control it can do something 
about then you can handle the control with jaws. Have you looked at the 
hierarchy of controls and windows?

Hi: 

OK, I've been in denial for the past eight years with regards to scripting.... 
So now I have to take the plunge. 

I've a tutorial on scripting so that's not really the issue at the moment, what 
I want to accomplish is while scrolling an editor if a line of code is 
commented out, there usually is a light blue hi-light around the commented 
line. Can I detect this color enhancement and if so can I add my own comment to 
the indication of the line. I would like for it to say somehing brief like just 
the word comment?

Since we are all in the same boat, perhaps this could be a group project.
Those of you who are scripters and those of us that are high end users of the 
IDE could get our heads together? What do y'all think?

J.
