I experienced the same issues you describe in your note. I would strongly suggest you take a look at using Eclipse. There are several JAWS users on this list using Eclipse and I use it with JAWS 8.0 almost every day. Eclipse takes a little getting used to from a navigation perspective, but once you get familiar with it, it is quite powerful and very screen reader friendly. The standard version of Eclipse is free. You can check it out at the URL below: http://www.eclipse.org Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Zipout Coder Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 7:18 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: How To Access JCreator Menus And All Its Features Guys, I can't take my way widely in empowering my career in creating programs alone without the help of sighted people. I am using JCreator but my JAWS screen reader demo 9.0.515can't access the menus and all its features even if I use JAWS cursor. In addition, what are the meanings of graphic xxx... which x is the three or more digits that JAWS always says. Help me out, please.
