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.

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.

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,

Yes, Eclipse has functionality similar to intellisense. I use it constantly.Eclipse also can offer a number of source code options like formatting or code templates. You can do things like select a line of code and then press alt+s and select surround with try/catch and eclipse will alt+automatically put in the try and catch blocks appropriate to the code selected. You can do things like define a set of private variables and then have Eclipse automatically generate all the public getter and setter methods. One of the code templates I use most frequently is the one for putting in System.out.println statement. You can type the letters sysout and then press ctrl+space bar and Eclipse will generate System.out.println(); and put ctrl+the cursor between the ( and ). You can select a variable name and press alt+r for the refactor menu and select rename. When you enter the new name, you can tell eclipse to find and replace the references to the old name with the new one. This is especially helpful because you can do the same thing for a method name, a class name, or even a package name. If you are unsure as to the correct import for a given object but you are sure you have the appropriate jars, you can put your cursor on the object name and press ctrl+shift+m and Eclipse will find the package that object belongs to ctrl+shift+and insert the import statement at the top of your code. If the object type is found in more than one package, you will be prompted to select the one you want from a list. For example the object type Date could be either java.util.Date or java.sql.Date. So, Eclipse offers many, many ways of helping you rapidly develop your projects. If you get the version of Eclipse designed for web development, then, yes you can develop JSP pages or web services. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Varun Khosla Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 11:21 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Accessible Java Development Environment Hi Jay, wonderful, I am curious about Eclipse. Few questions about it. Does it have accessible intellisense like thing? (it really helps in programming, especially for case-sensitive languages.) Are We able to develop all types of java programs (including JSPs) with Eclipse? I will also look at it on the link you provided; thanks On 10/14/09, Macarty, Jay {PBSG} <Jay.Macarty@xxxxxxxx> wrote:Varunh, A good part of my job is java programming. I use both JAWS and Window-Eyes depending on which fits a given situation best. The java development environment I use is Eclipse. It is quite accessible with either screen reader. I set up a few function keys to jump between various windows easier such as f6 to go to the compile results pane, f7 to go to the tree showing my project files, and f8 to go to the console output pane. Key f12 is, by default, already set up to take you back to the editor pane from most anywhere else you might be. This gives me quick access to the panes I use the most. I have eclipse set up to compile a program automatically when it is saved; thus, I can enter code in the editor pane, press ctrl+s to save/compile it, and then press f6 to go to the compile results pane to check for errors or warnings.

I realized later that the subject formed, concentrated only on the book query and as a result, it overshadowed the other query . So here's my other query: I believe there must be many VIs out here who have worked a bit (some have a lot) on java - so which is your favorite (or at least prefered) development environment strictly in terms of accessibility. I have heard of Netbeans, how much accessible is it? I would like to start with Java but don't want to frustrate me by wasting tuns of hours in finding an accessible way of working on it. I also have an expression that java apps (so does development) are poor in accessibility - I wish that this terns out to be my prejudice.
