Re: [orca-list] Eclipse is getting even worse

Sad to hear that something with such a rock solid reputation for great accessibility across all platforms 
seems to be going in the wrong direction in this regard now.

Hi,

@KK: reasons to use mars or better neon include:
- better Java 8 support:
-- Mars has more Java 8 support
-- neon seems to support it completely
-- Admitted, it's not very much that isn't working / compiling with luna but i'd like to use the full power 
of Java 8
- Gradle support in eclipse:
-- they just released buildship, a plugin adding gradle support to eclipse. But thats build using the Mars 
repositories and i believe you cannot get it properly working with luna
- Well and as i'm developing eclipse plugins myselve i'd like to support the current version of eclipse of 
course. Currently i can do this by switching the repositories in my maven build but if they change some API i 
make use of i'll be lost :-)

@All: unfortunately i don't know of any good, accessible alternative to eclipse: AFAIU netbeans and intellij 
are both build using JavaFX.
And as we know, FX doesn't include any linux accessibility support at all (which is really disapointing!).
So any hints and suggestions on that would be appreciated!

All the best
Jann
