Hi Andrew.

I believe the reason this is happening is because Eclipse fails to
properly name their widgets and so what you're hearing is the
description, which Orca presents last. I can see about adding a
hackaround for that. In other applications (i.e. where widgets are
properly named), you should find Orca does not present the most
important thing last.
