Eclipse has a simple way to work with compilation. In Eclipse by default is checked "automatic compile". That means that, when ever you save a file, eclipse automaticaly compile it.So, I write code and when I want to compile it, I am using the well know key shortcut ctrl+s to save the curent file. If you prefer you can use the save all option in the file menu to be sure that all resources are synchronised.
After saving, using ctrl+ f7 you will find the problems window. THat window is an treeview control with two or three nodes. First top node is called errorsYou will open this node if it has childs and will find childs nodes which are, every one, erors.
If you press enter on an error, the editor will be opened on that error.Also a best thing to use is the quick fix option from the application menu (right click menu).
It offer some options to choose for that error. I will do a little tutorial to be as a startup for every blind person.----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Midence" <alex.midence@xxxxxxxxx>

That was simply amazing! Did he write more? Where is this guy? That needs to be placed into a text or htm file for the java archive, I think. Thank you so much for sharing that. Jamal, if you are lurking, would you add this to the java documentation if I make this into a txt file or an htm file? Which would be best? Please let me know. Thanks.

There are some kind of concepts you must understand. First of all there exists a perspective. A perspective is a preconfigured eclipse workbench for a purpose. For example there is j2ee perspective, php perspective database design perspective. In this perspective you will find open more "views" and "Editors". Views are open windows inside the main eclipse window, windows for a specific purpose. For example in java perspective, you will find package explorer, console and so on. Tu move around views use the ctrl + f7 key strocke.Editors are a special kind of view, that permits editing actions with theirobjects.I am using eclipse on a daily basis for java development, j2ee development,birt development, php development, dotnet development. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Midence" <alex.midence@xxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 4:42 PM Subject: Re: Eclipse: Totally Dumb QuestionsWelcome to the wild whacky world of eclipse the accessible Ide that is a pain in the ahem ... class ... to learn because the obvious isn't obvious and the intuitive stuff never made it into production. It sounds like you are in the project explorer. Tab around and see if you land in a tree view. If you can do this, arrow to your file and use the context menu to edit it. Also type shift alt q to get a list of all the hotkeys eclipse has. Try going to alt w and the show view submenu. See if you can tell it to go to the project explorer if you are not already there. Sorry I can't be of more use. I was using eclipse's cdt for c++ development and eventually gave up on it because, accessible or not, I didn't find the app itself very user-friendly and the manuals I landed on were very sketchy and rather unhelpful to the beginner. I hope your experience is different. You are actually using the IDE for its original intended purpose. The documentation for java developers is probably much more extensive. In fact, now I think of it there are some eclipse manuals on eclipse in the java archive of the nonvisual development site. They are probably for an older version but, you might check them out. They may help you. Good luck, Alex M On 8/23/10, Homme, James <james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi, This is my first Hello World type project, so I'm probably doing something totally wrong. I get to the part where I tell the program the name of my file. I typed in Welcome.java with a capital W. It sounded like an edit window came up when I pressed Enter. When I try to type characters just to see if I can read and write text, I can't seem to read anything. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.
