Re: [orca-list] eclipse 4.5

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

The problem is only related to eclipse and do not affect other apps.
According to what was reported in the bug, it is also present in eclipse 4.4 but eclipse 4.4 uses gtk 2 by default.
You can force eclipse 4.4 to use gtk3 using the following command:
export SWT_GTK3=1

I'd like to ask people in the list to vote for this bug in eclipse. Probably the votes can motivate the fix.

So does that mean, we will not be able to access apps using gtk3?
That will be a major setback.
I thought gnome 3 onwards we were using gtk3?
I don't know then how these apps are inaccessible?
happy hacking.

Hi.
Eclipse is accessible using orca but in 4.5 eclipse is using gtk3 by default and this is the cause of accessibility problems.
You can read more in the following link:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=470031

You can forece eclipse to use gtk2 creating an environment variable called SWT_GTK3 and set the value to 0.
Use the following command:
export SWT_GTK3=0
You can include the command in your .bashrc file.

Hi All,

 

I installed eclipse 4.5 on my fedora 22 box.  When moving around the application I found that it was fairly navigable.  One issue I had and this is an important one when I tried to open a java file,, or some kind of file, I got nothing.  Is Eclipse not accessible with orca?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Is there any setup for accessibility I need to do to get it to work?  Does one need the Java access bridge to get eclipse usable?

 

Thanks all.

 

Best,

 

Juan
