Re: [orca-list] reviewing orca with eclipse, any experiences?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

First of all eclipse works with orca fairly well. Although eclipse is 
java based it doesn't need the java access bridge to work with orca as 
eclipse uses SWT for the GUI which uses the platforms native toolkit (in 
the case of linux GTK).

Auto complete in the past hasn't always worked with orca, I believe it 
was an eclipse issue that an accessible event wasn't being fired when 
the text in the editor changed. I think the bug has been recently fixed 
in eclipse (I don't know if the fix has made it into a release version yet).

Eclipse doesn't always seem to shutdown properly when using 
accessibility so I tend to keep it open all the time when using it and 
only shut it down when I plan to shutdown the computer.

There are some other bugs as well, but probably it is best you just try 
and use it, I don't think there is anything so big it will stop you.
