Hi.
Eclipse, an IDE used to for d evelop applications, is a java
application accessible with orca.
It uses swt, an open source <http://www.eclipse.org/legal/> widget
toolkit for Java designed to provide efficient, portable access to the
user-interface facilities of the operating systems on which it is
implemented.

Thanks, Rich. What I need, though, is whether Orca can access the
various screen elements in order for blind folks to be able to use a
program written in Java. Sorry for not making that entirely clear. I
knew what I meant. opcode: ReadMyMind

I'm a sighted programmer, so my comments may not be on target. That

It's not clear to me whether (by "accessed") you're talking about reading
the source code or running an instance of the compiled program. However, in
both cases, some sort of intervening program would be needed. For example:
- A text editor could let you read the source code.
- A terminal session could let you run the program.
So, the question is whether you can find intervening programs that Orca
plays nicely with. FWIW, there are combination interfaces (e.g., Emacspeak)
that will let you perform both activities, but be prepared for a bit of a
learning curve. In any case, other folks here may have better specific
suggestions.
