Hi,

My issue is also about Eclipse but on an Ubuntu distribution.  I am
not terribly familiar with Orca nor have I ever installed the Java
Access Bridge on any non-Windows box so, if you have a lot of
patience, can we either write or talk off list so I might get up and
productive with the least amount of hair pulling ?

Yes I have a few SWT books and tutorials.

I will send the link to the archive with those books to your private
email.
Please tell me after you finished downloading it.

1. Is Eclipse on its own reasonably accessible?

Yes it is.

4. Does Eclipse have a GUI designer and is this accessible?

It doesn't have one or it is absolutely inaccessible. (Unless a
new GUI designer appeared recently.)

5. For GUIs do you use swing or swt?  Do you prefer one to the
other?

I guess all the blind Java GUIs users prefer SWT because it is
much more responsive and accessible than SWING.
