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

Hello,
If you are going to do some scripting with orca for eclipse another problem (not sure how possible it would be to fix) is obtaining the results of junit tests. I think in windows the coloured bars visually showing this were represented by images and so I could solve it by labelling the graphics, as far as I know orca doesn't handle graphics and labelling. I think there is some text shown out of the results tree which does say whether the current test passed or failed, may be a script could use that.
Regarding the status line, I have only really used eclipse on linux (except for a little look at how various screen readers worked with it on windows), so I haven't had much access to the status bar and so may be I have found other work arounds and so don't miss it (eg. if I need to focus on a particular line then use "go to" to get there and then just keep track of where I am moving). If I gained access to the status bar then I may go this is great how did I live without it?
I will try to help where I can, testing scripts, etc but may be not writing them as I am still to get familiar with scripting, at-spi, etc (I think when I did make an attempt I didn't start with the best application to learn with, may be something simpler).

Yes, the bug regarding auto complete was fixed and the fix is present in eclipse 3.5m6. One big problem that I am facing is that I can not access the status line with orca. This is critical in my opinion because I can not know for example in which line I am. 
I am trying script orca to solve this problem.

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.

Hello all,
I have got some free time for a few days and I have as usual decided to
dedicate it to orca and complete a few things like some editing of my
recorded orca audio tutorials.

I am now trying to explore eclipse as a potential ide for java and
python.

Can some one share their experiences on using orca with eclipse?

I want to know particularly if the auto completion of syntax is
accessible with orca?

What all other features are accessible?
Should I put things like access bridge to use with eclipse for making it 
accessible with orca?



happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
